EMILY

In the midst of the 60's

She found herself confused

She was challenged to come see and do her part
So instead of becoming a part of the problem

She became part of the solution instead

She came to make a difference
The odd thing about the Vietnam war

It makes no differenece if you are male or female

Soldier or civilian the war impacts your soul
She bore the risks of combat

Same as you and me

She served us all with fidelity
Some will say she didn't serve

I will tell them that they are wrong

She is as much a Veteran -as us all
Emily raised in Atlanta

With her charm and her grace

Became a Donut Dollie in a far away place
She became a beacon of light...she brought us hope

With her smile and round-eyes

She took us to another time and place--away from the war
She didn't carry a weapon

She came with fun and games--she did her part

More importantly she became a part of the soldiers heart
As I look back on memories of the pastI recall with a certain fondness

Her beauty with a southern voice
Thanks for doing your part

You are not forgotYou became part of our heart
The gal from Georgia-our Donut Dolly

A soldier's friend indeed

WELCOME HOME EMILY-my sister...

WELCOME HOME indeed
