There will be a great encampment

In the land of clouds today.

A mingling and a merging

Of our boys who’ve gone away.

Though on earth they are disbanding,

They are very close and near,

For these brave and honored heroes

Show no sorrow, shed no tear.

They have lived a life of glory,

History pins their medals high,

Listen to the thunder rolling,

They are marching in the sky!
