Song for Hugh Thomson lyrics
Hugh Thomson was a pilot, just like many more
Fighting for Old Glory on a far-off, foreign shore
He was on a lethal mission, only one of many
Following his orders to kill the enemy, to kill the enemy
He flew low above the village, searching for the foe
When he saw a wounded child on the path below
He thought this to be a sure sign that the enemy was near
So he radioed for back-up and more choppers did appear...
"Help the wounded," he cried out, "and beware of an attack"
And then the child died by a bullet through her back
And when he looked around for the culprits of the scene
It was a company of men in U.S. military green...
The dead were in the hundreds, strewn all around
In this place called My Lai, which once had been a town
There was a hut of huddled children, soldiers had them in their sights
Hugh decided at that moment to fight for what was right...
"Train your weapons on the G.I.'s," and his 'copter crews obeyed
And stood among the children, tattered and afraid
The whole town had been murdered, but for some kids and widowed wives
And Hugh Thomson made sure that those remaining would survive...
It was a fifteen-minute stand-off in a knee-deep sea of red
Amidst the moaning of the dying and the silence of the dead
Hugh Thomson was a soldier and he served his country well
On the day he saved the lives of a dozen kids in hell...

Excerpt:
Hugh C. Thompson, Jr. (April 15, 1943 – January 6, 2006) was a United States Army helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. He is chiefly known for his role in stopping the My Lai Massacre, in which a group of U.S. Army soldiers killed and tortured several hundred unarmed Vietnamese civilians, mutilating their bodies after they had been murdered.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Thompson grew up in rural Stone Mountain, Georgia to strict parents.[1][2] After dropping out of Troy State University, he volunteered for the US Navy in 1961 and served with a Seabee construction unit from 1961 to 1964. After his enlistment was up he returned home to Georgia and ran a funeral home. Having always wanted to fly, he joined the US Army in 1966 and trained to become a helicopter pilot at Fort Wolters and Rucker. He arrived in Vietnam in late December 1967, and joined the 161st Assault Helicopter Company, which was reorganized into the 123rd Aviation Battalion of the 23rd Americal Division in January 1968. Known as an aggressive and exceptional pilot, Warrant Officer Thompson flew an OH-23 Raven observation helicopter as part of B Company (the "Warlords"). On March 16, 1968 he and his crew were supporting Task Force Barker (a battalion-sized element of the Americal) in a reconnaissance capacity. Serving as one door-gunner was his crew chief, Specialist Glenn Andreotta and as the other was Specialist Lawrence Colburn. All three men received recognition for their heroism at My Lai, although Andreotta died in combat three weeks after the event.
