Nam Rests Now lyrics

The cold smooth black granite monolith bears the names

Of those torn from family, uniformed, and now still lying

In Arlington many slumber, now justice brought for fames

Those that live keep vigil since their buddy's dying

From Normandy to Nam fellow brothers have many fell

In youthful years turmoil torn without any right

Many have passed to keep their buddys alive and well

Now only a name and a memory are in sight

The sense of unity present in combat finally appears

No longer a war of hate, no swords or spears, nor

Any students who display Viet Cong flags lending tears

No angry vets throwing medals at The White House door

Ghosts seem to say it is over and you are home

Toss the pain and hate aside, forsake foolish blame

Together to help each other, and never to roam

In unison and pride, the well, the sick, the lame
