My husband during his 2nd tour in Iraq. He's been home for over a year now.
Here is what the words say:
The occupation of a soldier has meaning beyond comprehension The job that they do without contention The lives of our soldiers is a lifelong test And the lives of their families one would never guess To protestors, think of them as you stand in the streets and jeer Think about who and what has given you the freedom to be here It is our soldiers who stand up and fight The heroes that gave you the voice to say “ it’s wrong” or “it’s right” Through deployment and war our soldiers go Into situations that we will never really see or know The military family sits in fear and they wait Waiting to hear of their hero’s fate Why do we send our soldiers to strange lands to fight? So, we, as Americans can speak freely by day and sleep safely by night The soldiers and their families live life, sometimes hard to bear But they do it for the good of their country and people everywhere As you stand in the streets holding your signs Think of those soldiers approaching enemy lines Think of the dedication that keeps you free So that even you will never be subjected to what he can now see He is ensuring your freedom and your right To a voice and a sky that is not lit up at night I think we should take time to give thanks every day To the men and the women who have given us the freedom to live our own way And to protestors, it was soldiers who gave you that right
