Almost as long as there has been life, war has been a part of it. Mankind continues to wage war even though the consequences often breed nothing but misery. However, when a person is called to defend his or her country, or protect other defenseless people, it is his duty to fight. There is no question that there is evil in the world and we must not rest on our laurels and say it is none of our business. We cannot stand by and watch while others are being persecuted. It is the duty of mankind to uphold justice.

There's a little boy standing by the fence with a flag in his hand.
He's sad and confused; he doesn't understand.
He watches his daddy turn and head up on the bus.
He watches him go and doesn't even fuss.

He says he's leaving.
He'll be gone about a year.
He's headed off to fight the war,
And his time is drawing near.
When you wake up in the morning or stay up on nights end
know that your sister is here till the very end
When you gather your equipment and grasp your gun
Know that you're loved, brother, uncle, son...

When I first came into this world
You could not be there.
But mommy promised every night
That you would always care....
He stands tall
He stands proud
In a foreign country
Among a foreign crowd...
You've been there for me
Through it all
You're always there to catch me
When I start to take a fall.

Although he could not say with words
The love he felt inside
He treasured every moment
And his heart would fill with pride...
To you I may be very small
Or think I don't know much at all
I've learned to grow up rather fast
With so much future and not much past...
My darling Katie, words cannot say
How proud I am of you today
You're beautiful, courageous, good and strong
Taking up the cause to right the wrongs...
Waves lap against our boat
as we wait in the cold
wrap our selves in our coat
Waiting for the order to be told...
