30
30 Americans serving in Afghanistan
Flying support in a Chinook
A firefight with Taliban forces
The horror of this moment
Rocket grenade is launched
The fiery crash
The smell of death lingers
30 gave all
Parents and loved ones crying
Along with many who have a heart
30 Americans served in Afghanistan
Awaiting their final resting place
A homecoming of sadness
Flag draped caskets
Most of the dead served in
Team 6 Navy Seal Unit
The honored Unit who
Brought down bin Laden
Stop and think for a moment
Shed 30 tears for the fallen ones
30 Americans dead in Afghanistan
War is hell, but passivity may be worse
Hatred boils in the hearts of the insurgents
Afghanistan boils in the cauldron
Terrorism stalks peacekeepers
With gratitude we thank those
Serving beyond our borders
Their efforts bolster our freedoms
Their blood spilled for our peace
Their young lives given, 30
