A Soldiercountry as flag

A soldier is the definition of brave,
A hero for the ultimate sacrifice he gave.
He waits for the call of duty to arrive,
He is trained to kill,
He is trained to survive.
The enemy he chooses not to invite,
When attacked his mission is to fight.
He's prepared for his last breath,
he is not afraid to meet the face of death.
He is trained not to fail,
All he knows is how to prevail.
God and country will be his guide,
Like Old Glory he stands for,
dignity, honor and pride.
America owes you for the service you give,
It is because of you our freedoms live.
