Tribute to our fighting forces
Toby Keith said it well in his song, American Soldier.
Here's to you, Rob. Stay safe in Tikrit.
I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and earlyI
'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots
I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for out future's my responsibility
Yeah, I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be
And I can't call in sick on Mondays
When the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long.
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm ready, hey I'm true down to the core
And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But, if dyins asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
Cause freedon don't come free
I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line
Sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American soldier.
Yeah, an American solider, an American
Beside my brothesr and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
I'm out here on the front line
So sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American soldier.
Yeah, an American solider, an American soldier.

God bless our fighting forces and their families, who sacrifice their time with them.

I've got a video using that song on my Myspace page that the Aggie video people did that was shown on the video board at the Aggie game I went to 2 years ago today... it's honoring Aggie soldiers, but still it puts faces to the men and women putting it on the line for us.

That song is arguably the best tribute to our troops. It almost always makes me teary, and particularly on a day like today.
God bless our military men and women. How can one not be humbled by their (and firefighters and police) sacrifices?
The true definition of "hero", all of them, to be willing to give their lives for us.
