Dignity's quality, I display, all aflame

I wear, the USA sealed sleeve patch, without claim to fame

I will fight to the end, without shame 

If in combat, I should die, do not grieve and do not cry

Just know that, for my sacrifices, I will live on, in God's platoon, in the sky

A Soldier, Army Strong...

A poem recognizing the uniqueness of U. S. soldiers

 

                                                                Troops, troops, troops, superior

                                                                You march with courage, this you clearly display

                                                                No amount of fear, will you allow to ricochet

                                                                You march with dynamic dedication

                                                                And, oh, what glowing commitment, you convey...
