"Brave Me Not Afraid" (Decca # DL-74796).

"Someone may die for me tonight so tomorrow we can be free
A soldier who is brave enough to fight for his country and you and me
He may be a sailor on a ship or he might be a Green Beret
A jet pilot flying over Vietnam or a leather neck clearing the way
A paratrooper bailing out of the sky a foot soldier doggy digging in
What ever he is he's united together to bring this awful war to an end
He was probably only a mechanic or a football star yesterday
A college graduate in reserves or a drop out who joined up to stay
And old regular who has seen two other wars
Maybe he's just a farm boy out of the fields of Nebraska
But he's protecting you and me and America let's show him how we feel
So let's not let a day go by that we don't think of our fighting men
Give them all the help that you can show that you're concerned for them
You may have a son husband or friend who's fighting to keep us free
Don't lock the door to our freedom when prayer can be used as the key
(Fathers weep mothers cry but you are free and so am I
Because of young men not afraid to die)"

Album also included the Vietnam songs Snipers Hill and Day of Decision, released as singles, discussed above.
