Student Patriots at USA Patriotism!

My Marine

His camouflage uniform brings out the green color of his eyes
I sit and watch him pack his bags and anticipate our goodbyes
He must stand the ground that freedom upholds
And endure engagements wherever they may unfold
It's hard to comprehend what he must do
He's fighting for his country, for me, and for you
He puts his life on the line, cause freedom isn't free
He's forced to experience things I may never have to see
He has the mind and body of a warrior, he's been taught to kill
He was trained to do these things, cause no one else will
I glance at him once more, he's one of the bravest men I've ever seen
But then again, he'd have to be, he's a United States Marine!

"My boyfriend graduated from boot camp in November of last year and from SOI on February 2nd. I'm so incredibly proud of him and so thankful for what he's doing for me and everyone else who loves him. He's destined for Iraq this September. All I ask for is your prayers, every troop who has had to go over there deserves them. They're fighting for YOU!"
