I've already posted this the other day but this looks like a good spot to reshow it.


   HONOR AT SEA

Today, a day in history
our leader took to air
the President of our country
like none before would dare

To welcome home returning troops
upon the deck he slam
with military honors on 
the bosom of Abraham

Our troops swarmed all around him
like sailors drunk on grog
the great ships captain wrote with pride
into the Lincoln's log:

"Today our ship was honored 
all men will mark this day
when our beloved President
on this first day of May

landed on our flight deck
where heroes come and go
to thank us for our service 
and let the world know

what freedom means to Americans
what bloodshed and what tears
and what he said to us today
we will honor through the years

though great men, rare, do come and go
as fate would us allow
we thank the Lord above for this 
great man who leads us now."
