MILITARY - Pride of America

You are the pride of America,
You who go to fight
To keep our country free
And stand for what is right.

You have left your homes and loved ones
To our perpetual tender care
Knowing we will meet their needs
As they all await you here.

Know too you will be honored
When once more you grace this land;
We will proudly receive you home,
Give you hugs  and shake your hand.

Just ignore the ignorant rebels
Who have so disgraced our name
When they attack your valor,
And ridicule your fighting fame.

Just know that the sane all love you;
That our hearts swell great with pride
Just thinking of your courage
As you stem the evil tide.

Our prayers go to God above
To protect and honor you,
For the service you have given
to your land, Red, White and Blue.

May you return once more to home
With body and mind both whole;
To settle in with loved ones
Having achieved your goal.
