"Leave no man behind."
Be it Belleau Wood, a tropical Island,
a village, city, forest, a jungle
surrounded rice paddy, and/or
smoke-filled sand pits of
some distant battle ground.

"Leave no man behind."
Many sacrifice a little.
Some sacrifice a lot.
Some sacrifice everything.

"Leave no man behind."
Protect each other.
Protect us all.
"Leave no man behind."
