They Stand before all others
They Walk miles farther then any others
They face the heat
They Face the cold
They are stronger in spirit then i can write about.
Remember us
Honor Us
Write about Us
Kneel and pray for us
They stand because no others will
They stand so others do not have to
They stand in the face of death
With Determination on their faces
Honor in their hearts
and Loved ones on their minds
History gave us them
History almost forgot what they did
But the 300 stood strong
and by their example
by their courage
Our democracy was born.
Now it is our time
just as they did
to stand strong
to face all odds
to honor their sacrifice
by standing as they did.
Honor is earned
Sacrifice is given
Courage is found
And Hero's are those who stand
as the 300 did
for freedom
for honor
for country
and before god.
These days we multiple that 300
by 100 fold
to insure less are lost
and more return home.
As the Spartans of old
Our brothers and sisters serve
to protect their land
and to offer freedom to those oppressed
as free men and woman
they chose to stand strong
they chose to serve
and they chose to face death.
If not for their sacrifice of freedom to serve
we would not be here with the freedom we share
we would not have freedom to be who we are.
By the ways of the 300
our soldiers serve
they serve for democracy born in ancient times
and today serve it for the freedom it has given them.
Just as then
we rely on those
Who are willing to take a stand
and we honor those who fall
by covering them in their final sleep
with the banner they served
a flag to warm them as they lay in rest.
For this we honor them
as the 300 are remembered through out history
for taking a stand
when all others failed to have the heart
and their history shall show.
They stood as free men and woman
to raise the oppression of a people
who have never tasted freedom
They stood as free men and woman
to defend their homes and familys
while others felt it was not warrented
They stood as free men and woman
to honor democracy
and to never forget that day september eleventh.
