	George A. was at the movies in
	December '41
	They announced it in the lobby what had just gone on
	He drove up from
	Birmingham, back to the family's farm
	Thought he'd get him a deferment, there's was much work to be done
	He was a family man, even in those days
	But Uncle
	Sam decided he was needed anyway
	In the South
	Pacific, over half a world away
	He believed in
	God and country, things was just that way
	Just that way
	When I was just a kid,
	I spent every weekend
	On the farm he grew up on so
	I guess so did
	IAnd we'd stay up watching movies on that black and white
	TVWe watched '
	The Sands of
	Iwo Jima' starring
	John Wayne
	Every year in
	June George
	A. goes to a reunion
	Of the men that he served with and their wives and kids and grandkids
	My great uncle used to take me and
	I'd watch them recollect
	About some things that
	I could not comprehend
	And I thought about that movie, asked if it was that way
	He just shook his head and smiled at me in such a loving way
	As he thought about some friends he will never see again
	He said, "I never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima"
	Most of those men are gone now but he still goes every year
	And George
	A.'s still doing fine, especially for his years
	He's still living on that homestead in the house that he was born in
	And I sure wish
	I could go see him today
	He never drove a new car though he could easily afford it
	He'd just buy one for the family, take whatever no one wanted
	He said a shiny car didn't mean much after all the things he'd seen
	George A. never saw
	John Wayne on the sands of
	Iwo JimaGeorge
	A. never saw
	John Wayne on the sands of
	Iwo Jima
