"On a 'Vietnam Wall' memorial in Washington DC, when one of our service man was listed as POW or missing in action, a cross was inscribed by their name. In the event that that man made it back alive, and accounted for, a circle would then be placed around the cross to signify the circle of life. To this day, there are no circles inscribed on a 'Vietnam Wall'"
Daddy got the call sometime in the summer of 69 Did his tour in the war But the home he was fighting for Wasnt what he left behind
I was there that day when the telegram came And mamma fell to her knees He was a mighty good man but he fell into the hands Of the North Vietnamese
For every man that gave his life Another folded stars and stripes Husbands, fathers, brothers, sons will never be forgotten When you find what once was lost Put a circle on the cross
For two years mamma held on said Im trying to do the best I can But the Army wasnt paying And she had a boy to raise So she found herself another man
I was there that day when the taps was played And they buried his name in the ground The preacher was still talking as mamma started walking And she aint never turned around
[chorus]
Put a circle on the cross On the cold black wall Put a circle on the cross 60,000 gone
I never knew my daddy But were the same man after all Cause it wasnt my reflection I saw staring back at me from that wall
