I am a Marine

I am a Marine, I have answered a call To defend our homeland for one and all. When I see our flag I always stand proudly. I salute America; land of the free. I fight side by side to protect our country Keeping it safe for you and your family. I have carried the wounded to keep them safe I have bandaged the cut knee of a small waif. I have raised our flag with my fellow soldiers. I’ve given out food to starving villagers. I’ve bled for America, still I have fought. I would die for my country without a thought. I stand before you a proud man, a Marine. I’ve been to lands and the sights I have seen. From the war in Vietnam to Desert Storm Make me proud to stand here in my uniform. My hair is grey now; I still say Semper Fi Once a Marine, always a Marine till I die.
