For all the free people that still protest. Your welcome.
We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is loud and strong, But who will fight for you?
No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons.
Wearing the boots and carrying the guns.
We are the ones who leave all we own.
To make sure your future is caved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die.
We may not be able to save the world, well at least we try.
We walk the paths that we are at.
And we want no choice other than that.
So when you rally your group to complain.
Take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly.
Wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected then we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling and put down your sings.
And prey for those behind enemy lines.
When the fighting is over and all is well.
Be thankful that we chose to go through hell...

- I am in the Air force and my cousin just gut back from a tour in Iraq. Thank you for posting this. Its... hard to know that so many don't respect us and go about protesting about something they'd never be able to go through themselves or understand simply because they are not strong enough, nor have the will power to stand up for the good of all they hold dear.
