Oh, gather 'round me, comrades; and
listen while I speak
Of a war, a war, a war where hell is
six feet deep.
Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh
how can a soldier sleep?
The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is
six feet deep.

Praise be to God for this captured sod that
rich with blood does seep.
With yours and mine, like butchered
swine's; and hell is six feet deep.
That death awaits there's no debate;
no triumph will we reap.
The crosses grow on Anzio, where hell is
six feet deep.

Looking and he asked about a Python I think. I noticed his hat, and it had his brigade, and Anzio! I took his hand and said thank you were you there!?, and he just nodded with tears rolling down his face.

Too many have no clue what our freedoms cost and what a blessing they are. Too many are willing to give it up for baubles.

“May their chains rest easy on them and history forget that they were ever our country men!”
