THAT WE ENDURED

OH THE SH**

THAT WE ENDURED,

IF ONLY THEY

COULD TAP OUR MINDS,

AND ALL THOSE

VET'S BEFORE US,

MAN THE STORIES

THAT WOULD BE TOLD,

THE LIBRARIES COULDN'T

HOLD'EM,

SINCE I'VE BEEN

POSTING ON THIS SITE

JUST TRYING TO SHED

A LITTLE GLIMMER,

OF SOME OF THE

SH** THAT WE

ENDURED,

AND MAYBE HELP

A FELLOW BROTHER,

CLEAR YOUR HEAD

HELL, THEY'RE ONLY

MEMORIES,

MEMORIES THAT NEED

TO BE PUT IN PRINT...

AND READ BY OTHER BROTHERS..
