Military Heroes
God bless our military heroes
Who show valour in times of strife
Duty to their country is sacred
And honor is more than life
Fidelity, trust and honor
Are traits to keep and to give
For those who serve our country
They form the code by which they live
Those who serve in times of war
And those who serve in times of peace
They are the watchdogs of our nation
Their vigilance will never cease
Patriots fill the military ranks
Where courage and bravery are rife
When duty calls no risk is too great
For their country they would give their life
Freedom is an American treasure
But it was paid for with a price
By brave young soldiers and sailors
Who made the ultimate sacrifice
We should say a prayer of thanks to God
When we see our country’s flag unfurled
For those who fought to preserve our freedom
On the battlefields of the world
As we remember our fallen heroes
Their loss we still regret
But they willingly died for freedom’s cause
And we must never forget
