Lyrics
VS1
It is an honor and a duty
To serve and protect our great land
And as we focus on the battle
At home, our families must stand
For they sacrifice along with us when we aren't there
As we protect land sea and air
CH
As our husbands and wives wait at home every night
Enduring a long uncertainty
We continue the fight,giving all of our might
Defending the land of the free
VS2
We do not question our decision
To follow this path that we chose
But we stand stronger in the knowledge
That hope at home surely grows
As our country stands united we will sustain
As steadfast and strong we remain
CH as before
BRIDGE
Not for the glory, or recognition
But for freedom we love we will fight
We'll fight
CH as before, and TAG
