For SARGE, and all who have stood between evil and America.

Same Job, Still Getting It Done!

In ancient days, he swung a heavy sword,
and marched to orders from those somewhere in the rear.
He sat around waiting, just plain and total bored,
or neck deep in trouble, through fire, fight, and battle’s sear.

Today he carries a rifle with sights to reach out far to play,
and yet its still face to face, his trade to ply where enemies he’ll find.
He brings more power to the battle now then Greeks brought Troy’s way,
and yet he carefully does the job, and leave little waste behind.

He is the new soldier, doing the same old job as before,
like building up a nation, as he takes down a tyrant’s pride.
Quietly professional, with a touch of pride, so hard earned and more,
a hero, in every way that counts, he’s in it for the whole long ride.

Not to Canada does he run, or off to some collegian frat slum,
no, he stands and delivers the final hard and telling blow.
Its him and all the rest, we own our freedoms too, old chum,
not some politician, or liberal whining star with honor oh so low!

Give respect for what they do, and all that they have done,
and remember them that fall as well, for their part of the best.
Stand tall and salute them, and do so with true pride, old son,
for these are the real Americans, who stood for her, the truest test.

There’s some kid from Kansas, a gal from Texas there,
and that kid from Oklahoma, behind his machine gun.
A guy from New York, the towers one day to repair,
but for now its pest control in the sand, old son.

They come from all over, and heroes each and all,
doing the tough job, every day until its truly done.
They’re more then most will be, they answered the call,
America needed them and they stood, and not a one will run.

Say a prayer and let not the whiners demean them now,
these are heroes real and ours, when we need heroes this day.
It is our job to hold this country for them, never to leftists bow,
America is theirs, bought with the coin of courage do they pay.

Those who give the very last, give everything for all,
set them on a hero’s stand, for they paid everything for you.
Let us bow our heads and thank them, who give and fall,
and thank their comrades coming home, their heroes too!
