Veterans of Chappell Hill They answered the call and left Chappell Hill
To a country called France where many were killed
With honor they served and dedication too Believing in the colors of Red White and Blue
From the trenches they fought, enduring the gas What dangers they faced so that freedom would last
Upon returning to this country with opportunities so few Still proud of the colors Red White and Blue
Remember whether in war or peace all blood run red But at home white was the color that was ahead
Still they tried not to focus on a reality so true
At times their hearts sank and their feelings were blue
We salute you dear veterans of World War I
From the country you fought for, and the town you came from
Generations may pass and time will sure fly
But the memory of our veterans, that will never die
You have not been forgotten and forever will live In the hearts of the people of Ol’ Chappell Hill.
