You probably don't know his story.

Most will never speak his name

You won't see him in your dreams tonight

But you owe him just the same

Since that awful day in September

He's proudly stood to fight

To serve his grieving nation

He needed to do what was right

He'd never admit to being a hero

That's not was heroes do

Instead of basking in the limelight

He's fighting for the red, white, and blue

Every moment he misses his family

Every day brings another fight

But, it's a small price to pay for freedom

To let his son sleep safe at night

He never asked to leave his family

He didn't ask to go to war

Never once has he asked himself

,What in the hell am I fighting for?

Let somebody else fight for freedom!

I'm tired of getting low pay!

This is what I get for the sacrifice,

Of giving my life away?

He proudly serves his country

He wears his ribbons for all to see

He's served Old Glory with honor

And he's fought for our liberty.
