THE COMBAT VETERAN
We have served in all of America's Armed Forces...
They will find our names in
the annals of the United States Military.
We fought the armed conflicts against hostile enemies...
Whether it be
a combat action, on land, in the air, or on the seas.
We're the ones who stand tall, accepted our fate and put our
lives on the line for what America stands for...
Our forefathers were the minutemen, the soldiers who crossed the Delaware
and fought the Hessians, on that cold Christmas Eve, so many years ago...
We struggled on both sides of the Civil War,
to keep America strong under one flag...
We come from all walks of life, with no political agenda...
We hail from
families all across this great nation...
We're America's finest men and women...
We have paid the high price
for our precious freedoms that so many take for granted...
We stand in strength, from the highest ranking military commander
to the lowest enlisted personnel...
We do not recognize color, religion or nationality, we're all equal in our eyes...
Some of us go to glory; others have died as well...
We all have prayed for God to save our soul from Hell, for the
horrible task that awaits the combat veteran...
We have always answered our country's solemn call...
Keep America
in our hearts and forever free.
