The Call of Duty

The Call To Duty Brave men and women across the sea Fighting for freedom for you and me If you don’t fight in another hemisphere The enemy will bring the battle over here. Through IADs and sniper fire You still hold that bold desire To serve and protect For the president elect And your country men, Fighting battles we don’t always win. In blazen sand and cold desert nights The thoughts are still running through your head of yesterday’s fight. You protect your country and fellow solders You give all Even if you fall You have still gone beyond your call.
