Calls the Master Sergeant
by Dana E BrossardArm Up, Make 'em hot
Calls the Master Sergeant
Loading our magazines
As we pass into the Red Zone.
Eyes Open, Stay Alert
Calls the Master Sergeant
Watching the landscape
As we move through the Red Zone.
Move 'em, Hit 'em
Calls the Master Sergeant
Plowing past traffic
Crossing through the Red Zone.
Heads down, Watch it
Calls the Master Sergeant
Sliding by the underpass
As we exit the Red Zone.
Good Job, Make 'em safe
Calls the Master Sergeant
Dearming our weaponry
As we pass into the Green Zone. 12/29/2004 Author's Note: First Convoy since coming back to Iraq. Thought I should write something.
