The Decision
The other day you made a decision
You told me you had to go!
What was the reason you made this decision
My heart will NEVER know!
Was it "Your love of this country?"
And how there are freedoms galore.
Or was it the man on the newscast
Talking about the WAR?
Whatever the reason you did this
Whatever the reason you're gone
Please know how "Proud" I am of you
For all the things that you've done.
For America stands for Freedom
Courage and Dignity too.
Without "YOU" fighting for us
What would ALL of us do?
Just remember WE stand behind you!
To YOUR COUNTRY you must be true!
So for now, I need to tell you
How very much you mean to me!
For without you there would be NO FREEDOM
In this land of the BRAVE AND THE FREE.
So remember we ALWAYS HONOR
"THE SOLDIER INSIDE OF YOU!!!"
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
