Defenders
As you are stationed in a faraway land beyond our shore,
our freedom is something you help to insure.
To defend our way of life, you are the latest generation.
You and your comrades represent our great nation.
We would rather see you back in our own land.
However, with your unit, you are taking a stand.
It is true that nobody likes to fight.
You must know how, and do it for all that’s right.
Wherever you are stationed, and whatever your rank,
you are among the service people we have to thank.
Terrorism has no place in anybody’s life.
You have sacrificed against all evil and strife.
May you and your company stand firmly and strong.
With honor and recognition is where you all belong.
