However, I'm trying to find out about the story behind this song. I remember hearing the story in a really well done eagle project / flag retirement, but can't remember it fully. I believe the words were found on the body of an eagle scout who died in Vietnam while flying a medic helicopter. Can anyone confirm this or correct me?

I believe the song goes:
America, America
How can I tell you how I feel
You have given me many treasures
I love you so
