A    PROUD PARATROOPER"

      What a guy won't go through,
      It's hard to explain,
     To proudly wear those
     Paratroop wings

     Some people say, "that guy don't
     care, he must be nuts
      he says to himself, "sure I
     care, but I've got the guts."

     There's something about
 those Wings and Boots,    
     That justify the chances, coming
      down

      He tries to picture what's below,
      when standing in the door.
      Because he's ready, and he's said
      his prayers before.

      On!  comes the green light, and
      out he goes
      And if it wasn't for God, he'd
       feel pretty low.

      With faith, and courage, he hits
      the ground,
      And goes into action against, the
      Jerries all around.
      Then when it's over, and maybe his
       buddy isn't there,
       Don't ever let him hear, "that guy's
       nuts, he must not care."
