A firm Handshake

The soldier who comes in a special plane from the battlefield
And at the Air Port he became a hero.
He walks along the red carpet and the band plays aside.
Rifles shot into the silent sky.
When the bugles blow General appears in his full uniform
And gives him a firm handshake.
But the poor soldier is unable to grab as he lost his fingers.
