True Heroes

Soldiers are heroes that many don't understand Defending our freedom with there hands They pack what they need and go on their way Hoping the war will end one day We have lost many some young, some old But all those men and women were strong and bold Sometimes it doesn't seem fair Soldiers having to go into the enemies lair The families of our soldiers keep them sane Knowing that all they do is not in vain Once in a while they get a letter And they instantly feel better We let them know we miss them so But no time to cry our soldiers must go They fold the letters and hold them tight Over there heart to read on a lonely night They know they will be home soon But for now sleep under the full moon Soldiers are never truly alone Their platoon will help them come home Soldiers look out for one another Because to then they are brothers Everything our Soldiers do Is without a doubt for me and you Soldiers don't know names of who they protect They defend all and deserve the utmost respect So when the flag rises high in the sky take your stand Salute to all active and fallen soldiers with your right hand Our American Soldiers stand tall and proud For defending our freedom as they vowed We appreciate you every single day But today is dedicated to all Soldiers on this Independence Day This poem is dedicated to all the American Soldiers Who have bravely fought for what is right and for the Soldiers that continue to fight
