Tributed to my late cousin Benjamin L Fleeharty as well as all those that died in service.
America, the land of the free,
But where arte thou brave?
Some still walk among us,
Others sent to an early grave.
They're the ones who answered,
Their nations call to serve.
The ones who protected,
More than we deserve.
They defended our rights,
Yes, every last one,
Even to speak like an idiot,
Or to own a gun.
They kept us safe at night,
And all through the day,
Combating foreign and domestic,
And kept the enemy at bay
They were our sons and daughters,
Who we've raised from birth.
Whose virtue, honor and sacrifice,
Is now lost in the Earth.
They were our brothers and sisters,
Both younger and older,
With out them in our lives,
The world is far colder.
They were our husbands and wives,
Sent to fight in the war,
Whose love and compassion,
Will be felt no more.
They were our fathers and mothers,
Who wanted to protect,
Their children and loved ones,
So pay your respects.
Pay your respects,
To the ones who were lost,
Our freedom came with price,
Their lives were the cost.
