"A CAP Veteran's Wife": By Marsha Locke
"A Place Beyond The Tears"
By Walt Cronin, 1st. & 2nd. CAG Corpsman
Your eyes were filled with innocence, Welcome home, my brothers and sisters, Welcome home, my brother and sisters, When you came trudging home again, So welcome home, my brothers and sisters,
Your hearts would know no fear;
You went as proud Americans,
To a place beyond the tears.
Your time has come to heal;
Though just nineteen and crucified,
By your government's need to kill.
Whose hearts would know no fear;
Your country's faith and kindness,
Are the words you need to hear.
From that place beyond the tears;
The place you thought as home again, the place you held so dear,
Was divided from their own, my friend, and unable to see clear.
From that place beyond the tears;
And now that you are home again,
Please let your hearts be healed.
I ran across this going through my stuff. I think I got it in CAP school. I remember them teaching us that these orders were valid in 1759, and were still a good idea 200 years later.
