Heroes for our Heroes
In a far off land, they fight for us,
to protect our right to be.
They asked no questions, offered no objection,
they all went willingly.
Long hard years they've fought for us
and continue still today
To keep terror from our children's hearts
and defend our country's way
They are our brothers, they are our sisters
fighting for our freedoms every day
They are our children, mothers and fathers
and such an awful price some pay
They are our heroes, they are our champions
our soldiers who defend
And we will be their heroes and champions
we stand and fight for them
Some will question why they are there
some march, and some protest
But these are the freedoms, you must admit
our heroes are there to protect.

until justice is done.
Marching through fear,
sadness,
and loss,

A Soldier Mourns His Fallen Comrade
A soldier mourns his fallen comrade
by placing a poppy on his grave,
he stands back and
THEIR SLEEP'S A STORM
Sleeping in a muddy trench.
Our heroes breathing filthy stench.
Or resting in a bed of sand.
Temperatures
Letter From A Soldier

Defend this honor until my death,
This is our war, Right till the end,
