My Hero

When Freedom needed heroes to answer duty’s call,
You packed your bags and left home for the greater good of all.

And though I can’t be with you, I still do understand,
You have an important job to do in a distant foreign land.

You represent so many things, even though you are not here,
Courage, Faith and Honor, the message is quite clear.

So until you job is finished and you’re back home to stay,
Remember, you’re my hero and in my prayers each day.
