They fight for freedom
They fight for liberty
How many of us are willing to join 'em
We mustn't continue to live individually

How many of us will stand ready
How many will go and fight
Hopefully there will be many
I know I'll do what's right

I pledge our flag with honor
I know my responsibility
I pray The Lord our Father
Will help us fight for liberty

This is dedicated to all the men and women that our serving our country. Those who are on the front lines, to those that manufacture the equipment. I dedicate this to all of them.

Inspired by Toby Keith's "American Soldier"
