Story Behind The Song

It's important to honor veterans of all wars. During the Viet Nam War, soldiers weren't provided a sense of gratitude; in fact, too often they were booed and scoffed at in public places, esp. airports.

Words and Music by Bruce Edwin

You've been away for too long;
Serving your country - keeping it strong.
Years of fighting can take a toll.
The war is over; it's time to come home.

Old Glory couldn't be prouder,
She's been with you every step of the way.
Her stars and stripes salute you.
She's free to wave because you are brave.

Welcome home, American soldier.
Welcome home - back to the USA.
Back to your family - back to your friends,
Back to the world where you were belong.

Thank you soldiers of every war.
Your undaunted courage cannot be ignored.
It doesn't matter when or where you served.
Our freedom you helped to preserve.

Welcome home, American soldier,
Welcome home - back to the USA.
Back to your family - back to your friends,
Back to the world where you were belong.

From the first casualty to the last,
"You kept the faith; you finished the course."
We will remember; we can never forget,
The price you paid for liberty...welcome home...American soldier.
welcome home...freedom fighter.
The cost of war affects all humankind.
Freedom's not free - it comes with a price.
When you put your life on the line,
It's the ultimate sacrifice.

Welcome home, American soldier. Welcome home back to the USA
Back to your family - back to your friends,
Back to the world where you were belong.
Back to your family - back to your friends.
Back to the world where you belong-
American soldier...welcome home... freedom fighter...welcome home.
