We are second to none
We do our jobs
On land, air, and sea
Wherever our nation sends us
To keep our country free

We are Army, Navy, Air Force -
Coast Guard, and Marines
The Fighting men and women
Who protect the American Dream

Sons and daughters of America
When our nation calls us to war
We take-up arms and armament
To fight on foreign shores

From the Halls of Montezuma
To Iraq's ancient shores
We take the fight to the enemy
And come crashing through his doors
And when the call is, "We must fight"
To the folks at home, whether left or right
Please keep this thought in your sight,
That bullets kill, both black and white

So when our nation calls us
To shed our blood and tears
We only ask that you support us
With love, hope, and prayers

Then in the raging battles
When we are standing tall
That you stand tall beside us
And give us your best, your all

For we will fight the battles
Until victory is won
And come home to friends and loved ones
When the battle for peace is won
And to the buddies who didn't make it
Who died on foreign shores
You are the true heroes
The brave souls of the wars

We will always remember
And hope you will remember too
The sacrifice of the soldiers
Who fought for country, for me, and for you

The price of peace is high
For freedom is not free
The tyrant's levied cost
Is the death of liberty

For we are second to none
We do our jobs
On land, air, and sea
Wherever our nation sends us
To keep our country free

We are Army, Navy, Air Force -
Coast Guard, and Marines
The Fighting men and women
Who protect the American Dream
