| David Roth – Flag of Hope | |
| The year was 1944, and I was 21 | |
| A million miles from California, carrying a gun | |
| My country sent me overseas to battle the Big Red | |
| I found myself in Burma with a helmet on my head | |
| The countryside near Sittaung is serene and peaceful ground | |
| Where towering teak trees touch the sky and bamboo shoots abound | |
| But on this day in '44, the sky was filled with fumes | |
| The landscape stained with mothers' sons in bare, unearthly tombs | |
| The victory was ours that day, I scanned the start terrain | |
| A flash of color caught my eye across this fruitless plain | |
| I knelt to find a piece of cloth beneath a fallen gun | |
| I took it as a souvenir, as if I'd ever need one | |
| The Allied Force prevailed and the war was winding down | |
| And still I had the souvenir I'd picked up off the ground | |
| The cloth turned out to be flag, a silken rising sun | |
| I took it home to California when my tour was done | |
| I showed the flag to friends and family, proof of how I'd served | |
| I justified the Japanese had got what they deserved | |
| But every time I took it out I felt a pang of guilt | |
| I thought of someone’s growing boy, who'd grown up to be killed | |
| To wish a strong and young soul well in Godforsaken lands | |
| I found a name and wondered if that's all that did survive | |
| And now Koju Muramatsu, I've found out that you're alive | |
| I can't express the flood of thoughts that rivet through my head | |
| For forty years I thought the soldier of the flag was dead | |
| And now I've found out differently, I can't tell you how I feel | |
| Today a souvenir of war became someone so real | |
| Though common threads that bind us all afford the greatest cost | |
| Regretfulness in retrospect won't make up for those lost | |
| I hope this finds you well and strong, I pray you comprehend | |
| That somewhere in this twist of time there's a newly humbled man | |
| Your Rising Sun is shining bright in shimmering array | |
| Your flag of hope, and love, and light | |
| Returns to you this day |
