[00:01.69]Written by:John Gorka
[00:13.25]My father met eleanor roosevelt in 1945
[00:24.76]The war was finally over then
[00:31.45]And they were still alive
[00:37.55]Her husband was the president
[00:43.74]'Til he ran out of time
[00:49.29]Her Franklin D. was history
[00:55.51]And they put him on the dime
[01:01.15]My father joined the leathernecks
[01:07.3]To stay out of the mine
[01:12.979996]The new marine was just sixteen in 1939
[01:24.97]There were medals and malaria
[01:31.12]The south pacific war
[01:36.270004]Through jungles that were paradise
[01:42.869995]And were paradise no more
[01:48.81]Soldiers fight and soldiers die
[01:55.1]Soldiers live to wonder why
[02:00.72]Semper fi fe-fo-fum
[02:06.67]Look out peacetime here we come
[02:23.06]Some of the men who did survive
[02:28.66]Were not the lucky ones
[02:34.09]War is only good for those
[02:39.85]Who make and sell the guns
[02:45.85]My father lay recovering
[02:51.86]The hurt was all inside
[02:57.67]Sometimes the wounds that never heal
[03:03.91]Are the easiest to hide
[03:20.52]When eleanor came bearing gifts
[03:27.39]To San Francisco bay
[03:32.72]She gave my dad a blanket
[03:37.13]In the hospital that day
[03:45.08]That blanket meant a lot to him
[03:51.27]My mother has it still
[03:57.1]Some forget the kindnesses
[04:03.11]That others never will
[04:08.62]Soldiers fight and soldiers die
[04:14.56]Soldiers live to wonder why
[04:20.34]Semper fi fe-fo-fum
[04:26.5]Look out peacetime here we come
