It is said that “Old Soldiers never die, they Just fade away!” Nothing could be further from the truth today. I am perplexed and don't quite know what say.
Old Soldiers, we follow orders. Not death, only quarters. Even when the CO won't let that fly. She lovingly states, “Old Soldiers never die!”
No matter the mission or the task at hand,. Old Soldiers are always found in a band. Though these brother remain unbroken. All that is left is a token. A name engraved, behest and bespoken. Another Old Soldier's spouse, heartbroken.
No! Old Soldiers, they never die. They just fade away.
