They heard the call to serve
After the 9/11 attacks,
They wanted to defend their country
Even though they might not come back.
Whether Army, Navy, Marine,
Coast Guard or Air Force--
Nothing would deter them
From their chosen course.
They wait to hear from home,
Letters or goodies to eat--
Everyday enduring
Desert sand and heat.
Sometimes they are betrayed
By someone they thought was an ally--
It happens all too often,
And another hero dies.
Those that come back
Are all injured in some way,
They need our love and care and thanks
Because they answered the call that day.
