Silent Warrior



Combat, I have never seen…

When it comes to war, I’m very green.



Targets only, that’s what I’ve shot…

I know, to many, that’s not a lot.



In a tank, I have never rode…

Instead, I had to learn Morse Code.



I tracked the “enemy” with electronic equipment…

My mission took a different kind of commitment.



Gathering information, was my chore…

And to me, it was never a bore.



Sometimes, I knew much more than most…

A Top-Secret clearance, but let’s not boast.



Many victories were won under cover…

Yet we could only confide with one another.





However, my stories can’t be told…

Lest “our” secrets be bought and sold.



At one time, I was perched on a hill…

Listening for the Morse Code “shrill”.



A few years later, I was underground…

Still listening for the familiar sound.



No purple hearts, to tell our tale…

Our mission was to leave no trail.



Against our enemies, we must prevail…

I performed my duty.  I did not fail.



What counts the most, is our due diligence…

Hats off to our Military Intelligence!
