Disposable Heroes

"Soldier boy made of clay

Now an empty shell

Twenty one only son

But he served us well

Bred to kill not to care

Just do as we say

Finished here greeting death

He’s yours to take away" (Hetfield/Ulrich/Hammett)

 

Into the World War II Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno Italy are engraved the names of 3095 Disposable Heroes missing during the operation Shingle in Anzio.
