Poem
For all of the free people who still make a fuss We protect you, you're safe cause of us Your voice is strong as well as loud Heard by all, especially this crowd We are your friends, your daughters, and sons Wearing the boots and carrying guns We are the ones that leave all we know To ensure that your future is set in stone We are the ones who fight and die We can't save the world, but at least we try We took our paths to where we're at We know no other life than that So when you gather your friends to complain Remember we see all the death and pain In order to fly the flag that you love Realize that we are a gift from above Some battles be fought and young lives must be lost Please understand that is the ultimate cost When you remember all the bad things Remember to see what this battle brings We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear Most never wish that we were not here Yet we have to hide what we think and don't say While you often smile, because things went your way When this conflict is over and we're back from hell We will be home and have stories to tell I understand where you're coming from But please comprehend that we chose to come So when you start to scream and complain Remember my words and what they contain I am a soldier, no need for my name I'm no different than you, I'm just not afraid to play the game
