We flew into hostile territory and finally made the Jump, We ran for the cover and made it over the hump. We heard the far voices saying Open all fire, then Hell opened up, and we knew it was dire. We were Out In No Where Death all around us, Gunfire through smoke. We all knew this was serious, It wasn't a joke. Radio calling for our air support, But no one was coming, We worked on our fort. Dug all the foxholes in a matter of minutes, Shot at stray runners that were all in it. The smoke turned the sky Black and everything got loud. Dropping bombs straight through the cloud. Fear was in everyone, Teenagers sent into Hell. Protect and defend No matter if we fell. Sitting in the mud, Insects and heat, Doubts in our heads, Blood at our feet. We heard the tanks rolling, Crashing through the trees, We all coughed up smoke with the evening breeze. My comrade beside me said he had been hit. I called for the medic when all the sky lit. Daylight during the dark, Like a huge camera flash. We had to move they were coming through the ash. We were out in No where....We were Out in No where...Everyone scattered and ran for the hills, just like we all practiced in all of the drills. I saw many fall, Bullets tore their route, We all knew then, We had to get out. Lost in Forever and nothing but fight, We knew it would last all through the night. Canteens with burned holes, Water running out. Screaming of friends I remember their shout. Help Me I'm hit I really need a medic. One came and used the anesthetic. The screams of pain slowly faded low. We are stuck here with nowhere to go. Lock and reloaded leaned over the hill. My gun firing rounds Until all became still. Grenades that I threw caused explosions that were great. Killing the enemies, It wasn't too late. My letters I had written, I still had in my pocket. My cross round my neck, with my Girls golden Locket. I was scared I was scared The fears never left me, I was shaking all inside. I kept my head down, Trying my best to just hide. The second rounds came but missed us by an inch, They were too close It made my jaws clinch. Helmets strapped, Rifles Blazing fire. I kept them held back, and they decide to retire. In the sudden quiet, I thought I sensed peace, And then we all heard the big guns release. Mortar shells dropping we had to move fast. I had to drag a friend, because I knew we wouldn't last. Silence again after the attack, I knew another buddy there, I had to go back. We were Out in No where We were out in No where We were in a place we shouldn't ever be!! I ran the 50 yards fast as I could, Training kicked in, Told me I should. I found him leaned over, A shell had hit his shoulder. He was crying, I don't want to die. Hold to me brother, We still have to try. We came in this with many, and some were already dead. I thought about the words back home, All I should've said. If this will be my end, tell my wife and kids all the love I send. A chopper above gave all our troops faith, The shouting of Men Filled all the swamp that day. Assisted under deep fire was all We requested. Saviors of the sky picked us up and that's when we rested. Back at the base wounded were tended, Blood flowing freely desperately need mended. Officers calling orders from the room, Direct and precise to save those from Doom. I was wounded in my right leg but didn't even know it, Adrenaline pumping kept me going all in it. I am proud to have made it with all the right choices, and now I am speaking for all the lost voices...We were out in No where We were out in No where. We truly were out in No where.. Our next tour is planned for next week, Ill be again on the plane, praying I stay alive, Its home is all I seek. Calling my wife and saying all is alright, Lying through my teeth when I tell them goodnight. Ill be home soon is all I could say, Her tears will still fall up until that day. I told the kids I loved them and wanted to be there, I was careful what I said not to give them a scare...Years later I came back with the scars, the wounds I had endured. I always kept the faith and strength, Ill remember this for sure. We went into a world, We were never supposed to be, Did what we needed to do in order to stay free.
