Veteran's Day

We Stood For Freedom


Roger J. Robicheau

Former U.S. Army Specialist Fifth Class

We stood for freedom just like you

And loved the flag you cherish too

Our uniforms felt great to wear

You know the feel, and how you care.



In step we marched, the cadence way

The same is true with you today

Oh how we tried to do our best

As you do now, from test to test

How young we were and proud to be

Defenders of true liberty.



So many thoughts bind soldiers well

The facts may change, not how we jell

Each soldier past, and you now here

Do share what will not disappear

One thought now comes, straight from my heart

For soldiers home, who've done their part.



I'm honored to have served with you

May Godly peace, help get you through

And now I'll end with a request

Do ponder this, while home at rest

America, respect our day

Each veteran, helped freedom stay.
