1st  Verse:
D
They put their lives on the line for us each and every day,

They sadly leave their families, and are forced to walk away.
G
He may never see his little girl or even her little boy,
A
But they’re fighting for our country, bringing freedom and joy.

D                         A
They’re American Soldiers fighting for the land they love,

They’re our heroes and our family sent from the man above.

Doing their duties we send them on with love and prayer.

All we wish for now is that they won’t be there very long.
