What did you do today for freedom?
Makes you wonder as you stare
At the lifeless soldier laying there
lungs filled with sand, clawing ground
Silent, for in death you make no sound
He was prepared to fight this awful day
Made his peace with God in his own way
Armed and ready he charged the beach
Life claimed by the bullet that left the breech
Freedom to him meant more than life
He had a loving child and a wife
He hoped they'd remain free and well
They were in his last thoughts as he fell
What did he do for freedom today?
He gave his life so Old Glory could wave
He sacrificed all upon a foreign shore
It's hero's like these that win the wars
Not Cowards locked behind closed doors...
