Pride In the American Troop

They held the field, men side by side, Their will intact, their fears subside. They mustered in so many fields, And held the ground, refused to yield. At Lexington went toe to toe, With British troops, a worthy foe. McHenry saw our banner fly, Against a burning brightened sky. At Antietam, when thousands died, They calmed themselves, fought on with pride. On the Eastern front fought hard and well, To rid the world of immoral hell. The Ardennes saw fight most severe, The troops fought, fought through their fear. The Pacific saw men die galore, To turn the tide at Corregidor. At Heartbreak ridge fought through the night, With Stand or Die their mantras might. Khe Sahn saw men fall in droves, When overwhelmed by local foes. Fallujah helped the world to see, The need to fight insurgency. Khandahar pit the American, Against the dreaded Taliban. Our troops maintained, our troops prevailed, Against each foe our troops assailed. And though they fought with honor deep, The fight they fought for peace to keep.
