OK
1839, only survivor of a slang fad in Boston and New York c.1838-9 for abbreviations of common phrases with deliberate, jocular misspellings (cf. K.G. for "no go," as if spelled "know go"); in this case, "oll korrect." Further popularized by use as an election slogan by the O.K. Club, New York boosters of Democratic president Martin Van Buren's 1840 re-election bid, in allusion to his nickname Old Kinderhook, from his birth in the N.Y. village of Kinderhook. Van Buren lost, the word stuck, in part because it filled a need for a quick way to write an approval on a document, bill, etc. The noun is first attested 1841; the verb 1888. Spelled out as okeh, 1919, by Woodrow Wilson, on assumption that it represented Choctaw okeh "it is so" (a theory which lacks historical documentation); this was ousted quickly by okay after the appearance of that form in 1929. Okey-doke is student slang first attested 1932. Greek immigrants to America who returned home early 20c. having picked up U.S. speech mannerisms were known in Greece as okay-boys, among other things

A soldier can still hear the drums of battle ringing in his ear.
His deployment can take up most of the year.
A soldier carries his rifle to tear down the fear,
Of terrorist far away and the ones who are near.
All soldiers carry the colors to make one thing clear,
These colors will never run away from here.
Being a soldier I fight for a cause greater then my own.
I would give my life to let your sons and daughters grow old.
I will stand against all your enemies even if I don't come home.
This is our America, witch will be represented by the strong and the bold.
I will withstand the heat of the dessert, I will even fight the cold.
Although my blood may shed and tears may flow I will always stand my post
No matter what obstacle lies ahead of me I will fight as I'm told.
liberty and freedom comes with the price of so many souls.
Even if I'm dealt a losing hand I will never fold.
Because the safety of our America is my one true goal.
