Midway Through Fire and Loss

June '42, the ocean roared

A fierce showdown, the war's great chord

Four carriers sank, the skies ablaze

Midway's stand marked history's gaze

Midway, where the tide was turned

Through fire and loss, the lesson learned

Outnumbered, bold, they held their ground

Victory's echo, a lasting sound

Nimitz led, their plans foretold

Ambush set, the battle bold

Dive bombers struck, a deadly flight

Japan was crushed by morning's light

Midway, where the tide was turned

Through fire and loss, the lesson learned

Outnumbered, bold, they held their ground

Victory's echo, a lasting sound

The Pacific's fate, forever sealed

Midway's heroes, their strength revealed

The Pacific's fate, forever sealed

Midway's heroes, their strength revealed
