A wife waits at home in worry despair and in alert weary at the door
A son goes to bed each night alone in his bed awaiting the phone to ring
A daughter goes to school everyday with a ribbon tied to her schoolbag
While a mother cries herself to sleep in fear of that possible day she dreads.
You and I hear about it from family, friends or the news broadcasting on air
We don’t feel each of these people’s pains at night
We don’t see the real story behind the scenes themselves
We have not witnessed tradigity or pain as they have
They have seen and been party from the beginning to the end
They have seen and witnessed it all first hand
These are the people of the service who leave their families to fight for rights or protect the nations and fight
They are men and women
Sons, daughters, dads, moms
They can be anyone
My father and grandfather were one of these great men and women of the land.
These are great heros whom I will thank and respect until the end
These are leaders
Someone’s heros
Soldiers
Friends
Prisoners of wars fought lost and won
They are vets and men and women of service
Sent to help and protect our country and fight in many wars
Thanks to all our service men and women of the country and for our nation
Training in the Marines, Army, or Navy to become the best they can be with pride of and for our country
To some who give there lives in the fight and some who gain there medals to fight others loose there lives and never come out and return to home
These are the men and women of the brave
They came in ones, and twos sometimes more
Came by fours or fives
The thousands or so
A friend or foe
A teacher
A judge
It doesn’t matter who they were
They were soldiers
Friends we knew
Men and women of the governments who called them out
Called them to deploy tonight live or die they’d leave loved ones and family anytime day or night
When duty called they’d pack and leave without a fight to go to go where they’d be sent that very night
