VALUES

Somewhere in the Devil’s Land
Where no one should have to live
A Soldier takes a guarded stand
And gives all he can give.

Somewhere on a lonely tower
A Soldier stands on guard
Fighting sleep at an ungodly hour
Even though it may be hard.

Somewhere at a checkpoint
A Soldier and hostile meet
Keeping his anger in check
Is a task that he must beat.

Somewhere in a wooded land
A Soldier takes a ride
Covered with our flag
Honor bound in every stride.

Somewhere in a room
A Soldier stands straight and tall
Fighting the urge to lie
Has integrity and takes the fall.

Somewhere in a guarded place
A Soldier holds his own
Refusing to flee in haste
Courage is all that’s shown.

Loyalty. Duty. Respect.
Selfless Service. Honor.
Integrity. Personal Courage.
Are what makes a Soldier what he is.
