The Soldier

Submitted by Nick on Mon, 11/19/2007 - 04:10

Soldiers have killed,
And Soldiers have died,
and defended our freedom,
with valor and pride.

To defend this country,
takes more than a gun,
it takes a patriot,
and the streangth of passion.

they walk into battle,
with chins and flags held high,
Knowing that they,
Could be the next one to die.

but they remember us proudly,
each time that they go,
for freedom is nothing,
compared to love.

so next time they go,
write a letter, shake a hand,
for that man may be,
the last man to stand.

look at our flag,
and pray for our troops,
for they defend our freedom,
in one big group.

they defended us and our freedom.
Now return the favor. Bring Home
Our Troops!
