Thanks for the Memories
of flights to Germany
Across the cold North sea.
With blazing guns we fought the huns
For air supremacy
How Lucky we are.
Thanks for the Memory
of M. E. 109's
of flank guns on the rhine.
They did there bit, and we were hit
It ended our good times
We hate them so much.
We drifted out of formation
We jumped and "what" a sensation
And now we sweat out the duration
Our job was done, we had our fun
So thanks for the Memory
of days we had to stay
in Stalag Six so gay.
With Jerry stew that had to do
Till Red Cross parcel day
How Thankful we are.
Janet L. submitted the lyrics to this song from the papers her Father Joe Davis carried with him. Joe Davis was a Prisioner of War in Germany during WWII and is one of Our Hero's.
From The Heart of Angel
We can't possibly imagine what these men went through that were POW's during WWII. However, the lyrics to a song that they sung gives us a hint of what some of it was like. As many will tell you that you can't possibly know what it was like unless you went through it. What an honor it is to live with the survivors of that period in our history. Let us never forget the sacrifice that they have made to assure our freedom. When you see a Veteran, be sure to tell them THANK YOU for YOUR SERVICE.
