You knew but still
went
Your heart set
To serve and protect
was your intent.
The decision to go you
did not lament
Informed of danger
You knew but still
went.
The United States of
America you did represent
Putting your life on
the line
To serve and protect
was your intent.
When you signed on the
line it meant
Leaving your family
and friends behind
You knew but still
went.
Hard physical training
you underwent
Preparing for the
mission
To serve and protect
was your intent.
The loss of life
you could not circumvent
For the freedom of
others the ultimate sacrifice you made
You knew but still
went
To serve and protect
was your intent.
