"Well Dad, that's about it
Not much more to tell
By the time you read this letter
We'll surely be catchin' hell"
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you
Something I need to make clear
It's not just following orders
That has me fighting here"
"I'm fighting for my country
For those who've fought before
For people I will never know
But also Dad, one more."
"A boy's imagination
'Monsters', then the screams
A Dad who camped out in his room
To simply guard his dreams"
"Bullies who would taunt and tease
It seemed there'd be no end
A Dad, a talk and boxing gloves
A kid who learned to defend"
"Thank you Dad, for being there
Rest assured, tonight
When the 'monsters' start to roam
It's me they'll have to fight"
Excerpts written by a son
Within a foreign land
Excerpts of another note
In his Father's other hand.
Words as 'Grateful Nation'
Followed by, 'Sacrifice.'
Excerpts of Freedom
And of those who pay the price
