"Loved Ones"

This is for all the families left back home,

Whose loved ones are gone, and feeling alone.

We really didn't want to go to this land.

But there comes a point to take a stand.

We're all well trained and growing strong,

And we'll all be back home before too long.

It gives us strength knowing you're there,

And it builds our spirit knowing you care.

When the snow is blowing and it's cold tonight,

Remember the ones who long to hold you tight.

There have been many soldiers who fought for us,

So now its our time to return this trust.

It's for all the blue skies and the rolling streams,

That gives us confidence and insures our dreams.

Whether it's children's laughter or a walk to the store,

Remember it's your rights that we're fighting for.

In this barren land where there's nothing planted,

Makes us see what we all take for granted.

So count your blessings and walk real tall,

We're doing what's right so we can't fall.

Now it's time to say so long for awhile,

Whenever you think of us we hope you smile.

We guarantee freedom for all our heirs,

So hold us in your hearts, and keep us in your prayers.
