You probably don’t know his story
Most will never speak his name
You won’t see him in your dreams tonight
But you owe him just the same
Since that awful day in September
He’s proudly stood to fight
To serve his grieving nation
He needed to do what was right
He’d never admit to being a hero
That’s not was heroes do
Instead of basking in the limelight
He’s fighting for the red, white, and blue
Every moment he misses his family
Every day brings another fight
But, it’s a small price to pay for freedom
To let his son sleep safe at night
He never asked to leave his family
He didn’t ask to go to war
Never once has he asked himself
“What in the hell am I fighting for?
Let somebody else fight for freedom!
I’m tired of getting low pay!
This is what I get for the sacrifice,
Of giving my life away?”
He proudly serves his country
He wears his ribbons for all to see
He’s served Old Glory with honor
And he’s fought for our liberty.
