America's fighting an unpopular war,
many of our soldiers have died or seen gore.
Some will have injuries until they reach their death,
from the oath that they swore with dutiful breath.
Our country is strong, our nation is proud,
thank all our soldiers with praises out loud.
Don't judge our leaders for choices they make,
doing this could be one's biggest mistake.
Remember great nations often fall from within,
losing faith in our leaders could lead to the end.
I salute you, my comrades, both living and dead,
may you be blessed for the oath that you've said.
May your gift to this country be service   or death,
not ever fall silent on your country man's breath.
