CPL WILLIAM EUGENE CARLSON

 

Billy, Your smile is still with us, though you've been gone many years You fought our countries battles, and we were left with tears, So far from Minnesota, you went and wouldn't complain In Binh Long you gave your life, but surely not in vain. A warrior from a small town, standing tall, standing strong You gave your life with honor, and your memory lives on, With every passing year, I feel so much older But I remember my cousin, who was an Army soldier. He was too young to die, in a land so far away But God took him, on a wet, November day Until we meet again my cousin, may you bask in God's glory As for the generations coming, I'll tell them a little story A story of honor and valor, for which you gave your life I'll be honored to tell them, for the rest of my life. I'll not say it quietly, I'll tell em nice and loud, I'll tell them of you cousin, and of you, we're very proud. Steven Carlson
