Generation to generation
Families go off to war
Many not to return
Ingrained is the life of a soldier
From the Revolution to Iraqi Freedom
These proud families support a nation
Protect our freedom
Bring life to Patriotism
The understanding
The reasoning are simple
Those gone before did the same
Now it is time for the next
Often they begin the tradition
Battle to battle
Father to son to sister
None are the same
Nor are the soldiers
The times have changed
Yet the end result is familiar
The honor of battle
Honor shown during battle
Born thousands of years before
Continue in the blood of these true warriors
The honor of battle could never be exemplified better
Than by honoring of these men and women
Past
Present
and Future soldiers
Remember their sacrifices
Remember the family’s sacrifice
Show them the honor meant for a soldier
Honor them in the present
Honor their memories
By honoring them
You honor a great nation
You honor those you love
You honor yourself
Never miss the chance to show you care
Show that they matter
Show that what they do matters
To Love
Honor
Respect
They are true warriors
They are the American Soldier
