Our Brave Hero His name was Charles C. Monroe; He crossed the sea, to meet the foe Although he did not have to go; Three times the draft board told him "No". Chuck was a brave, young man; He chose to go, to a foreign land. To fight for freedom, for you and me; Now his deeds, we all shall see. He answered the call, from Uncle Sam; And soon was sent to Viet Nam. On a hill over there, he fought and died; with only God, by his side. He did far more, than his share; For some of those, Who did not care. They burned their cards, to shun the call; But he paid the price, for one and all. So we could be free, in the land of the brave; He traded his life, for a lonely grave. When the chips were down, he was on the scene; May God watch over, our brave Marine. R. J. Bass Charles Caleb Moore, Lance Corporal, United States Marine Corps, also is remembered by his comrades in the 5th Marines
