ONE PROUD MARINE

 

 

This poem was written by a Marine who is stationed in Iraq. He mailed it to his father and asked that it be spread throughout the land via the Internet. I thought that maybe this would help a bit. Please consider forwarding it, not only for our boys over there, but also for those who keep the home-fires burning.

THE MARINE

We all came together, both young and old.
To fight for our freedom, to stand and be bold.
In the midst of all evil, we stand our ground,
And we protect our country from all terror around.

Peace and not war, is what some people say,
But I'll give my life, so you can live the American way.

I give you the right to talk of your peace,
To stand in your groups, and protest in our streets.

But I still fight on. I don't bitch, I don't whine,
I'm just one of the men who is doing your time.

I'm harder than nails, stronger than any machine,
I'm the immortal soldier, I'm a
U.S. MARINE!!

So stand in my shoes, and leave from your home.
Fight for the people who hate you, with the protests they've shown.

Fight for the stranger, fight for the young,
So they all may have, the great freedom you've won.
Fight for the sick, fight for the poor.
Fight for the cripple who lives next door.

But when your time comes, do what I've done,
For if you stand up for freedom, you'll stand when the fight's done.
