About 6,700 American soldiers have died
In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“ It’s more than an honor” to recall their sacrifice
As for their love ones we pray all we can.
Coffins returning every day from war zones
Contain the remains of those we honor and love.
All we are, stand for, believe in and treasure
Are due to our brave soldiers and God above.
It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion
And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, or teacher
But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.
