To Serve
By Joann Ryan-Stanley
They Stepped Up To Serve Our Great Country
And So Proudly They Did
Our Flag Went With Them Everywhere
As She Sent Them Off To Serve
Wherever They Fought Across This Great Globe
The Flag Of Our Country Flew
And Guided Them Throughout Their Time
For They Were American Red White And Blue
They Took Her Into Battles
Some Too Terrible To Name
And Hung On To Her Edges
As The Battles Inflamed
Never Once Never Once
Did They Run From Their Call
To Serve Our Country Proudly
With Our Flag That They Held High
Throughout All The Battles
Many Brave Souls Were Lost
And Some Came Home So Broken
The Pain Of War Overtook Them
And They Went Home To God
America’s Flag Has Traveled With Them
And Proudly Flies Where They Do Rest
For These Brave Americans Who Gave Their Lives
They Are Our Country’s Best…
