You've given your life
In times of grief and war
Deployed to foreign lands
American to the core,
Protector of the families
That love you so much
Trading hugs for bullets
For the pictures you clutch
Your feelings we feel
Our feelings we share
But none of us have seen
What you have seen there
With clinched fists
Aimed at the sky
Wondering, is it worth it
Absolutely, but why?
Now as you lie in peace
Having defended the declaration
This here is for you
On your day of decoration.
