Like someone said it's a tribute to his Great Uncle.
What stands out to me most is the line "George A never saw John Wayne on the sands of Iwo Jima".
John Wayne movies have 20 people shooting at him at once dodging them and saving the day single-handedly.
I interpret the lyrics to mean that the men who fought were normal men working together to get the job done in hopes of going back to America and living a normal life.
