God Bless Our Soldiers

May God keep our soldiers safe
as they volunteer to do their duty.
They protect us in a hostile land
while we enjoy our country's beauty.

War as we know, can be unfair
but sometimes necessary for our freedom.
The lights of victory will shine through
with heartfelt courage and wisdom.

To our brave soldiers, we salute you,
and all that you face along the way.
For you are the heroes in our eyes
making the best of life everyday.

Thank you for being so heroic
and standing tall for what is right.
For we are proud American's
looking to the future to be bright.

As we pray for your protection
may you rest in peace each night
trusting in God's divine plan
that everything will be alright.

Keep marching on...
doing what you know best.
For we love and support you
on your journey quest...God Bless!!
