Their Courage

Their courage deems utmost respect

Their mission clear, our way protect

It’s sure to each what they must do

No give or take, keep freedom true

With the grand old flag, they'll unite

Whenever they must, march to fight

A life we know counts hard on them

Without their ranks, hellish problem

If our Armed Forces ceased to be

How long could we survive as free

Let’s well realize the truthful score

We need our troops just like before

Boils down to this, words to engrave

Land of The Free, Due to The Brave

God Bless each one for being there

Their loved ones too, unending care

Hope born from love touches the will

Do back them strong, means to fulfill

Americans – Who Serve To Give

One Nation – Under God We Live

At this time in our history where patriotism and love of country is not politically correct, we need to take a day to not only celebrate our wonderful country but to think and pray for the men and women everyday that give their lives so that we can have our bar-b-ques, our homes, our cars, our freedom of speech, freedom of religion and our basic life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
