Be Glad You Loved a Soldier.

Be glad you loved soldier, %
f EN- though he paid the price
OF life, so clean, so young and dear;
Earth S greatest sacrifice.
Be glad you loved a soldier;
No Stacker, weak, despised.
His love for country and for home
Can not be criticised.
The boys who choose a soldiers life
Know Death walks that same trail
But in a soldiers catechism
Is no such word as fail.
Be glad you loved soldier;
Brave they must be always.
If we are called to part with them
We must be brave az they.
Each happy hour, each word and look,
The lapse of time endures.
When present scenes shall dim the past
The memory still is yours
Be glad you loved soldier;
The trace of tears remove
His heaven won't be happy
If you a Stacker prove.
What though our'bit be bitter,
We IL do it just the same.
Be glad YOU loved a soldier
We all are proud to name.
