Heroes Every One

They come in every shape and size From across our cherished land They come in every age and color too And they always take a stand They go way back into our history Strong men with values true They loved and protected our country They’ve always fought for me and you Where once only men would serve It’s very different now For women too, sign their names On a bible they take a vow They vow to put their lives aside No matter what it might take Their children wait at home for them Oh, such sacrifices they make The parents of these men and women A beloved daughter or a son Or perhaps a child’s parent They are heroes every one!
