A long Time coming

Okay everybody I know I am really late on this but here it is. Another poem! It's Titled "Men of '61" It's about the 1st. Minnesota regiment in the Civil War. I hope you guys like it.

Men of '61

The Men arrived at the fort
They came for a different sort
They came to fight for a glorious cause
But in battle they would not pause
These are the men of '61

There would be young men lost
on Fredricksburg's cold winter's frost
They fight to set other men free
They work as if a bee
These are the men of '61

They charged the fields of Gettysburg that day
For they kept the Confederates at bay
They lost 82% of there men
For that they call it a slaugter pen

Their is no glory in war only loss
for in the end you are one with the moss
The men sign up thinking it will be fun
But remember in war there is no pun
These are the men of '61
