"Enduring Freedom"

Time and again we march into war
Sometimes wondering just what the hell for

Then we see it rise up into the sky
That symbol of freedom rising so high

The banner of old glory the stripes and stars
Saluting those glistening red and white bars

But these aren’t the bars of a dirty old prison
Instead they are of a land built on tears and crimson

Building a nation on the shoulders of others
Mothers, fathers, daughters and brothers

Giving their lives unto thee
Fighting so hard for us to be free

And again we will march will blood, tears and sweat
To stomp out any and all opposing threats

So whenever you’re in doubt
What this country is about

Looking up into the sky
At the symbol so high

And remember those who perished
The loved ones we cherished

So stand up with your pride
And set your fears aside

As we march for old glory
To tell your grandchildren stories

Of how we helped build a nation
Freedom its foundation
