American Brave

American Brave


To our brave for over all the years
  For you some of us have shed tears 
To you servicemen and women, who served and still serve
  I say thank you, which you greatly deserve   
You fight to protect our American way
  You put your life on the line everyday
You protect the colors of our flag
  Some of you come home in a body bag
You protect our flag of stripes and stars
  Some of you come home with battle scars
Included are the people of 9/11 who died
  The volunteers, the relatives and the people cried
I’m sorry to the families of the brave    
  Their sons and daughters who’s life they gave
We are Americans of this great country
  Again thanks to all the Military
