I must fight for freedom wherever I may be needed.
I will not shirk my duty, nor my sense of pride.
I fight and protect those who cannot fight
for their own freedom and rights.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.

I fight for you and yours.
I fight for me and mine.
I fight for all humanity wherever I am needed.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.

I fought for freedom in 1776.
I fought for rights in 1812.
I fought my own brother in 1860
I fought at the Alamo.
I fought in WWI and WWII, Korea and in Vietnam.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.

I fought in Kosovo and Somalia.
Granada, Kuwait and in Iraq in '91.
Now I fight in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I fight wherever I am needed, whenever I am called.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.

I am a man. I am a woman.
My feelings deep, intense and true.
I fight for the freedom of all mankind.
I fight even if I disagree with those who sent me.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.

But, I am also human and I cry.
I cry for the loss of life,
whether man woman or child who's time
came so tragically because I was not in time.

I am a Soldier for the U.S. of A.
I fight for ALL of YOU!
