We Stood For Freedom


We stood for freedom just like you
And loved the flag you cherish too


Our uniforms felt great to wear
You know the feel, and how you care


In step we marched, the cadence way
The same is true with you today


Oh how we tried to do our best
As you do now, from test to test


How young we were and proud to be
Defenders of true liberty


So many thoughts bind soldiers well
The facts may change, not how we jell


Each soldier past, and you now here
Do share what will not disappear


One thought now comes, straight from my heart
For soldiers home, who've done their part


I'm honored to have served with you
May Godly peace, help get you through


And now I'll end with a request
Do ponder this, while home at rest


America, respect our day
Each veteran, helped freedom stay
