  6. “Little Ribbons”Mike Patrick Resplendent on the deep, deep blueOf the full-dress uniform,Are little ribbons aligned in rows.To regs they must conform. He always wears that uniformWhen ere he comes to town.Take's more, I think, than simple prideTo be the man he's found. Old warriors notice the ribbon count,And many a friendly guyWould buy a round and shake his handTo a whispered, "Semper Fi.“ Do you recognize those ribbons:The ones upon that chest?To know them well does surely tellHow this country has been blessed. On the top row, the Silver Star.For gallantry it stands:Bravery under hostile fireOn distant, burning sands. This purple one is the Purple Heart.Three times it was received.In battles where his brothers diedHe survived, but still he grieved. After today they'll fade away;Be displayed never more.After this eulogyThey'll close the casket door. Proud to serve my country, Is etched into his stone.God needed one more hero,This Marine is headed home.
