The Face of a Hero

The face of a hero Is camouflaged in green, Miles away from home Loneliness is a soldier’s scene. With courageous strength They never give up to give in, Putting their lives on the line For the price of freedom to win. They faithfully follow orders Without a single complaint, Marching past protesters And the ignorance they paint. The cost of their uniform Is dedicated with honor and pride, The patch on their shoulder Unites the soldier inside. They face the unknown With each new day, The gift of discipline To guide their way. They soar for peace With an eagle’s grace, Protecting the birth Of freedom’s place. They give our tomorrow A reason to be, Inspiring us to remember The soldiers who died for you and me. The face of a hero Holds the spirit of our land, Fighting for our freedom And giving us a reason to stand. DEDICATED TO EVERY SOLDIER, PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE
