An All American Soldier

Military, contest entry

An All American soldier-
He bleeds red, white and blue.
He loves his country dearly.
He fights for me and you.

An All American soldier-
In jungles or desert sands
He seeks out truth and justice
And brings peace in far off lands.

An All American soldier,
Whose bravery knows no bounds,
He serves a grateful nation
Of cities, states and towns.

This All American soldier
Could be your daughter or your son.
They deserve our humble thanks
To each and every one.

This All American soldier
Is hard at work today
Whether foreign or domestic
He stands forever in harm’s way.
