S and S

"For as long as they can remember, the burden to protect and provide have all that has been on their minds
Family members at the fore front of their hearts
The sailor and the soldier both offering their lives

Far from home they sail, 
On different fronts they wander
On enemy lands they hope to prevail
On treacherous seas facing monsters

Of the sailor and soldier, never have I met men so bolder 
The sailor and the soldier both bearing the burdens and carrying the cross
The sailor and the soldier, 
The thought of six-feet under a heavens choice"
