Freedom Fighters

Training day and night
Brave soul signed to his country
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Behind loved ones are kept waiting

Brave soul signed to his country
Trained to fight
Fears faced
100 percent until the end

Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Fellow soldiers scream
Wounded soldier carried
Flown home to their families

Behind loved ones are kept waiting
Hope for their hero to return home
Until a flag is given to them
MIA and POW gone but not forgotten
