Words about Shipboard Hazard And Defense
Will not be minced!
Veterans were had by Project SHAD!
Starting in fiscal year ‘63
Our government went on a poisoning spree!
Test Eager Belle started the healthcare hell.
When it really ended, no one will tell!
Were there more after year ‘74?
Chemical and biological warfare tests
Were done on many of America’s best!
Now this part of Project One Twelve,
No one wants to delve!
Veterans of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -
Many have real questions and needs!
With tests like Copper Head and Shady Grove -
Why have not SHAD veterans been fully told?
The Coward of Crawford and his chicken hawks,
About this, they do not talk.
They receive the best of care.
While the worst, SHAD and other veterans bear!

Dedicated to J.B. Stone and the thousands of deceived veterans of Project SHAD and Project 112
