If you feel lonley and far astray, remember you're not the only one who feels that way. So take it from a lonely Marine, little me, hold your head up high and home again both of us will see. Once again, we're glad to be back, but we will remember the trip we had. So I end my lonely poem, I hope you can make something out of it and never go wrong. by Andre Adams, Baltimore MD
