AWON SUNSHINE
(sung to the tune of You Are My Sunshine)
JANE NELSON
AWON’s our family with loved ones dear
Brothers and sisters from far and near
We tell the stories of our Dad’s glories
And share together memories here.
SANDY WICAL
Sixty plus years have come and gone
And now we’re ready to sing our song
To praise our fathers for this great country
We have waited oh so long.
RUTH MALONE
We’ve wept together, and we’ve shared pain
We’ve all been happy, and sad and blue
We’re all connected, we love each other
And we know what we’ve been through.
PAT ARMSTRONG
We’re AWON siblings, we stand together
Our daddies died when we were young
We hold our heads high, we are survivors
And our stories make us ONE.
PAT ALBANI
AWON’s our family we always longed for
Wanting our daddies home from the war
We care for each other, sister and brother
Sharing love and oh so much more.
GINNY BUGG
Tho they are gone, they're not forgotten
We feel them looking down with love
We hope to join them and be together
At last forever in Heaven above.
