  • Don't envy a man his medals.

    Don't envy a man his medals, all those ribbons on his chest,
    He did not try to get them, they're not there at his request,
    They were earned in stinking hell holes, where no man would like to go,
    Or in cold and wintry places, where there's only ice and snow.

    He did not know he earned them, till they were awarded at parade,
    They were bright when he first got them, but in time the colours fade,
    He was told he had to wear them, and to wear them all with pride,
    But when the memories come to haunt him, those same medals make him hide.

    Cause those medals will not bring back, all those guys he left behind,
    And he would trade them all forever, for a little peace of mind.
    So don't envy a man his medals, you don't want to take his place,
    Thinking back to long gone battles, and meeting dead friends face to face.

    There is discipline in a Soldier, you can see it when he walks,
    There is honour in a Soldier, you hear it when he talks,
    There is courage in a Soldier you can see it in his eyes,
    There is loyalty in a Soldier that he will not compromise.

    There is something in a Soldier that makes him stand apart,
    There is strength in a Soldier that beats from his heart,
    A Soldier isn't a title, any man can be hired to do,
    A Soldier is the soul of that man, buried deep inside of you.

    A Soldier's job isn't finished, after an 8 hour day or a 40 hour week,
    A Soldier is always a Soldier even while he sleeps.
    A Soldier serves his country first, and his life is left behind,
    A Soldier has to sacrifice, what comes first in a civilian's mind.

    If you are civilian, I am saying this to you,
    Next time you see a Soldier remember what they do,
    A Soldier is the one that is brave, protecting you and me,
    And If you know A Soldier, I am saying this to you,

    Respect is all we ask.
    Remember...that Prosperity...can only be for the free...and that freedom...is the sure possession..of those alone...who have the Courage to defend it.
