Those That Serve

Amid the trappings of worldly thought Can we forget how our countrymen fought? Risking life and limb to keep us free Must we be reminded they sacrifice for you and me? Hearing the world shouting in the street Damn those Americans they must retreat If we agree or not with the reason why Support for our troops is my ardent cry Their love of this Country is spurring them on No longer taking for granted we’ll be left alone Strength be shown by standing for a belief Praying countrymen not be burdened with grief Contributions they make are far from small Wishing God blessings will be with them all
