A Soldier's Call
I
am a American
Who will fight to stay free
I am a Soldier
Of the United States Army
I will never forget
What
My Country Stands For
Stand In Its Defense
In Peacetime Or War
I will Protect My Allies
Their Countries Too
To
Defend Their Freedom
As Each One of Us Do
I will Always Respect
My Leader's Advice
I will not Question His
Orders
I will Not Think Twice
I will Always Place the Lives
Of My comrades Before Mine
Protect them From The
enemy Danger
Be the First To Cross the Line
I will Alway Remember
In the Time Of War
The Promises I Made To
God and to My Country
To Be A Good Soldier I swore
I will Continue to Believe
In My Country As A Whole
And
Tho Critized By Many
Remember I play A Important Role
I become Battered
Or A Broken Man
But I will Keep My
Will to Survive
Never forget The Words " I Can"
I will Keep My Courage Everlasting
No Matter The Choices That
Face Me
I May Die In The Arms Of War
Know I died For My Country With Honor and Dignity

War drew us from our homeland in the
sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who
did not come back alive
remain in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
and a part of us is with them always."
