One Nation Under God we live
Think about all some had to give
We the people share freedom’s life
In a world of ever present strife
Be grateful to those who keep this true
Warriors of our red, white, and blue
They're trained by those of great skill
Honed to perform, so strong their will
They show what love is all about
They’ll fight for us, there is no doubt
Defending bravely what we are
No holding back each heartfelt star
Highly praise these men and women
Giving thanks time and again
Those in uniform will always be
The golden pride of this country

The Land That Would
All The fear of war tugs deep inside
We must try our best, don't be denied
Our proudest march to protect us all
In our country's uniform, so tall
These bravest troops bring an awesome sight
Determined to keep our freedom tight
I pray dear God to stay by each one
And lead their way till their job is done
May our people keep our nation firm
The resolve we have must hold long-term
Each parent or spouse I pray for you
Your support and love is so very true
The worry you share is hard to bear
Our country should see this very clear
We must help each other as we should
That's America, the land that would
