Front:
Infantrymen
We were boys and we were young
We became men on that hill we overran
Some of us lived, many of us died
For a moment with us abide
and join in prayer with me
to honor those of the combat infantry
Back:
combat infantrymen
Freedom has a price
the protected will never know
Erected by Alabama Regiment, Combat Infantryman's Association.
