Angels On Guard

Angels in disguise Standing guard Protecting our country Protecting our lives Young and old Men and women Age or sex makes no difference They come from near They come from far They are our brothers and sisters In United States military uniforms The branch it doesn't matter They all defend our rights Instead of shiny golden halos They wear medals of honor As the sun hits them directly If you watch for their shillotte Lies God given proof They are all angels Under all of that gear Tucked away neatly Are their wings and halos Put away so discreetly The job that they do They do not in vain Risking their lives So that we can be safe They all have families They all have lives at home When a call they recieve A flight they hop on Some never come home The greatest sacrifice of all They give up their lives So that ours may go on Next time you see one Hold out your hand Give a firm handshake A pat on the back Our freedom is their sacrifice A job so well done They go above and beyond A salute to you soldiers Thank you Carry on
