In life our dad was many things... to many people.

But to him, the most important was that he was a

Green Beret.

DON'T ever forget that he stood for your freedom,

HE LIVED the motto:

"De Oppresso Liber"

To Liberate The Oppressed.

C-130 rollin' down the strip
Airborne Daddy gonna take a little trip
Mission Top Secret, destination unknown
They don't even know if they're ever coming home
When that plane gets up so high
Paratroopers take to the sky

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
knees got weak and I hit the floor
Jumpmaster picked me up with ease
Tossed my ass into the breeze

Count one-thousand, two-thousand, three-thousand, four...
My main opened with a mighty roar
But if my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side
But if that one should fail me too
Look out below I'm a-comin' through

If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my wings upon my chest
And then bury me in the leaning rest

And if I die on a Chinese hill
Take my watch or the commies will
But if I die in the Korean mud
Bury me with a case of Bud.
