I Served My Country

Rating: 5.0


I served the United States of America
The home of the brave and free
And gladly took my father's place
In the tradition of our history.

Like my father before me
I served proud and stood tall
Next, my son raised his right hand
And was committed to the call.

Brave young men and women
Stand ready to fight
And defend to the death
Our Constitutional Rights.

The tremendous pride I feel,
The swell in my heart
When our beautiful song
Stars Spangeled Banner starts.

From the top of my head to the tips of my toes
A veteran is who I always will be
From my thoughts in my mind to the love in my heart
Veterans are the reason we're free.

The next time you see a veteran,
Active duty, retired, or disabled vet
Tell him or her how proud you are
To be an American, or better yet,

The next time you see a soldier,
Tell him thanks, extend your hand.
That uniform is made from our flag
It deserves the respect it demands.
