A Tribute to Our Brave Sons and Daughters that Serve in Our Nation's Military

We at Operation Military Parents Proudly Salute
our Brave Sons and Daughters that Serve in our
Nations Armed Forces.

Let every nation know,
whether it wishes us well
or ill, that we shall pay any
price, bear any burden,
meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose
any foe, in order to assure
the survival and the
success of Liberty.

John F. Kennedy

The American Soldier

The American Soldier in times of war.
Is put through hell, but with Eagles He Soars.
To protect our country from men of woe.
Away to a foreign country, they must go.
Our life is held in their brave, brave hands.
Fighting for us, they have taken a stand.
It is up to us to cheer them on.
Praying to God to bring them home.
Making their way through this foreign land.
Pushing on, through the heat, rain, dust and sand.
In a country filled with men of hate, lust and greed.
It will take God, in their hearts, to plant the seed.
As I sit here safe and secure in my home.
I'm sure you are frightened and feel alone.
God is your friend, reach out and take His hand.
He will keep you safe and secure in this foreign land.
