Dear brave men and women, although you may feel alone
Know this now from your country your're not forgotten at home.
You don't make the policy but you do make a stand
Against dictatorship and tyranny in a very foreign land.
If you ever stop to wonder if there's a difference that you make
Just think of your family's Freedom if someone else tried to take
Freedom, rights and justice others have never known
But because you serve our country we have those rights at home.
You know the strong can do some things
About which the weak can only ponder.
That's why when duty called you ended over yonder.
When your Country called you, you thought not to hide or run
But to give a helping hand in a fight someone else had begun.
Now there'll always be a bully and those on which they prey
That's why the downtrodden call the USA.
Every other nation knows that what we have
Has stood the test of time
With Freedom throughout our land.
We're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and get the hard jobs done
For we know that when it's over, better days will come.
This is a message from back home: We'd all just like to say Hi
Because when we enjoy our Freedom you are part of the reason why.
When you hear my message don't ever feel alone
Because back here's a nation waiting to welcome you home!!!
