America, the Melting Pot For Freedom

our hero,s went to war
also know what there fighting for, 
to give there lifes to keep us safe
to fight along to save human race.

in our hearts we remember you
know one knows what they really went through, 
to stand and fight and brother in arms, 
to pray to god as know its bad, 

remember the day they gave there life
to leave there family and there wife, 
all to keep the worst at bay
so that we live another day, 

hold your hand close to your heart
wish we could give our hero,s lifes back, 
being strong and salute them to, 
as they gave there life,s for me and you, 

raise a flag at the half mast,
blow the trumpet for the last stand, 
poppies and flowers may be put down,
remember we owe our life,s
