Annotation
My Son (Maresca, Ernie) Traditional pop, patriotic, anti-protest, home front perspective Played with toy guns as a child. Grown up , at war Uncle Sam took you away - proud of you, job to do In the streets - draft card burning, demonstrations But you write that we are right to fight Someday people will be free
