I was there
Contributed by Bill Faith

I was there
Bob Prinselaar

I look at my ribbons
Yep, I was there
No fancy awards
But, yep I was there

I just did my job
No hero for sure
I stood by my buddies
and learned to endure

I watched new guys come
I watched new guys go
They just weren't ready
They just didn't know

Each day was a milestone
I asked for one more
Or maybe a week
To add to my score

Now I'm a civilian
No troubles or care
But I look at my ribbons
Yep, I was there.
