Beaten down,
Ripped apart,
Limb to limb,
Witness the towers crumble,
The day of the 11th
Left a mark on him.
Not oblivious
From this day forward,
A hero arises,
Buried life awakened,
Payback and justice
Is what he shall seek now,
Willing to sacrifice.
To risk it all, if it calls,
He stands up, and fights,
For his girl, his friends,
And his family, but
Especially his country,
Now the U.S. Military shall be
Home...
