Lord, I pray from day to day to help me understand how America views their hero's and how they judge a man! If being someone famous is being looked upon with awe, something's wrong here, with our values. What are we fighting for? I'm in the military and proud of what I do but I need to feel some strength and love that's why I pray to you. Some of our families left us and now years have passed,I feel the burden and stress for each day could be our last; I'm in the field of combat with bullets surronding me,there are few that care for those who've died. Protecting those born free! I'm asking for some comfort,some support,and one thing more...To get RESPECT AND HONOR from the Americans we fought for! You & I are The Hero's! Fighting for Our Land To Be Free! And tho' no one has heard Our Names,We're the hero's, You and Me! Our awards weren't televised,no speech with tears in our eyes.Why is our country too blind to see that the hero's will always be..Those of us who fought for peace,we're the hero's! You and Me!
THOSE OF US WHO FOUGHT FOR PEACE, WE'RE THE HERO'S! YOU AND ME!
