Our Soldiers in Iraq ©
Never forget that they were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice in our name.

this troubled land
of fire and heat
where scorching sand
burns more than feet
this soldier band
in foreign glen
who firmly stand
when called again
this hardened brand
of loyal men
bravely withstand
the fear and pain
this muddled hand
that they were dealt;
who'll understand
the shock they felt?
this cruel demand
on our brave youth
could be damned
in face of truth
