I watched the flag
pass by one day, A young Soilder
saluted it, I looked at her
in uniform I thought how many
like her How many pilots'
planes shot down? I heard the sound
of Taps one night, I wondered just
how many times I thought of all
the children, I thought about
a graveyard Enjoy Your Freedom
Everyone & God Bless Our Troops & God Bless Sgt. Sliker!
