A tribute to our American Soldiers
"American Marines”

Silent strength while others scream with violent rage.
We stand as one, every race, sex, and age.

Proud

Protectors of people, freedom, and our land.
Our mail holds our hearts, but guns ready in hand.

Warriors

A career chosen that few can comprehend.
Sure of abilities to serve and defend.

Capable

Tired and torn, spirits remain ever strong.
“The Star Spangled Banner” our mantra, our song.

Strong

Heads high, we tarry on, no matter the task.
Remember us in your prayers, is all we ask.

Values

Hand in hand we leave, and thus we shall return.
Respect isn’t a gift, but something we’ve earned.

Patriot

We celebrate joys and bury the sorrow.
Learn from yesterday, prepare for tomorrow.

Team

Though miles away, our homeland’s always near.
Sleep well, America.  You’ve nothing to fear.

Selfless

We’re willing and able, refusing to lose.
It’s the life, the career, the mission we choose.

Determined

Lives for nation, a debt with honor we’d pay,
for our countrymen in the great USA.

Free

Stars and stripes, a symbol of all we hold true.
We, loyal soldiers, will bleed red, white, and blue.

Ready

Our thoughts with our country, our families, our friends,
knowing, accepting, our mission never ends.

Disciplined

While some argue we’re wrong, we know we are right.
For America’s way of life, we'll always fight.
