Its hard to reply when people say, Thank you for serving...
What does one say to that, to say your welcome sounds cocky,

Why do they say it, do they mean it, do they truely know what it is we do over here, Do they know the pain we are going through,

Can they see the abuse our superiors give us, is it possible to show them what sacrifice really is, to live, breath, eat and die for this country,

A country who forgets about thier soldiers, who wants to spend money on useless things that in the end, have no meaning,

How is it that basketball players make 30 times as much as we do, and all they do is play a game they loveto play, They are treated like kings, as we lay in a ditch and sleep with dirt as our blanket.

I am not asking for your support, I am not begging for help, I am a soldier I can stand on my own two feet,

I merely ask, that if you dont feel thankful, dont say it, I would rather here the truth than hear the obligation in your voice,

I do what I do, so my children wont have to
