Our Soldiers Our Heros
So few and far between are those who for others have consideration
Men who will sacrifice themselves for another without hesitation
Not for the praise or a reward, no desire for any kind of commendation
Choices made simply from the heart, they are in fact an inspiration
Our world could be such a beautiful place if more had their dedication
Truly divine individuals, humble and selfless without need for validation
You are champions to us all; I proclaim this with no reservation
These men known to us as US Soldiers, they bring our family’s great jubilation
For they live by a code of ethics of which their actions are the biggest indication
If not for their self-sacrifice the feeling would be great sadness rather than elation
For the loved ones of heroes lost, we express great sadness for your tribulation
Some face a long road to recovery these Hero’s body’s riddled with devastation
Their noble actions have brought from the masses nothing but admiration
Although they would tell you different, from their peers this is the collaboration
Thank you for being true to your hearts despite all temptation
You are truly respected for going beyond any expectation
There are no words that can begin to express the appreciation
You have given everyone the opportunity for great celebration
If we all could be half the man you are can you imagine the ramification
True Heroes now and forever to be part of your identification
