A Civilian’s Salute to Soldiers

country as flag - small

You chose to join a cause and fight
You heard your nation call.
Signed and swore and trained for war
For your country you gave all.

If no war you saw that’s best
You preserved our freedom yet.
If in radio, accounting or infantry,
this honor you have met.

For we civilians, have this hope
That if called upon you will;
Lace your boots, raise your weapon, Lock and load.
And you would take that hill.

Thank you soldiers every one
For between them and us you stand.
Do the do’s, fight the fight, win the battle.
It is you who shields this land.
