Our soliders battle
on forighn soil
and have to see
people dead
leighing on the ground
they watch as childeren scramble to find
a lost parent
who was just in a road side bomb
they see their comrads thrown about
as they try to protect
their loved ones at home
they wait and wait and hope to find
a letter in the mail
from a girlfriend,wife or child
how can anyone complain
about such silly things like a break up
when soldiers dont know
if they will ever see their true love again
how can you complain about a bad hair day
when they go days with out showers
how can you complain
about not getting what you want for christmas
when soldiers rairly get anything
how can people say they dont support our troops
they sacrifice everything just to keep us safe
they care so much they would give their own life
if it ment saving someone they cared about
soldiers they are saints
and we should be proud of them
not embaraced
when you think about your problems
and compair them to theirs
do you really think you have it so bad anymore
i am proud to say I Support Our Troops
through and through
no matter what
they will always have a place in my heart
