They were formed in Pennsylvania,
joined by men from every state,
with the keystone for their emblem,
they were called the twenty eighth.
they hit the beach at Omaha,
crossed the hedges row by row,
where the jerry learned to hate and fear,the keystone's ruddy glow.
fire and movement were their watch words,
as they climbed up hill 210,wrote a bloody page for history
in the woods of campiegne.
a victory march in paris,
ever forward with the dawn, through Belgium,France and Luxembourg
the twenty eighth "rolled on"
the siegfried line has seen them, all along its mighty wall,
from Aschen, south to alsace,
where they fought at Colmar's fall.
there are towns they'll long remember--
Vossenack,Schmidt and Kommerscheid--
and the breakthrough in december
when they slowed the german tide.
with blood and sweat they carved a niche,
in historys wall of fame,
with deeds of valor shining bright
and victory was their aim.
in valhalla's halls their heroes live,
who fell along the way, they're resting now, awaiting call
to march on judgement day.
when my last recal is sounded,may i go there to dwell,
and march again with the legions--
of the gentlemen from hell!!
so i got in a giant lot from a man who served in the U.S 28th . that was a poem i found stuffed in with a bunch of pictures, german and french money . so lets start off with the first item a giant plaque , not too keen on these items, i see they can be somewhat pricey. it is made by "kse" kurt schmidt eman- i probably spelled it wrong . but he seems to be a very prominent manufacturer of great items.
