In the name of honor
Many have died to keep freedom alive
Their blood was shead onto the red stripes to keep it red
The tears of loved ones and angels above keep the blue and white

In the name of honor
Many have entered the valley of the shadow and death
Men and women wearing their uniforms
Men and women entering the valley with their guns and courage

In the name of honor
Hell haunts these brave souls
The screams haunt the dreams of many
The sounds of gunfire and bombs screams as well

BOOM BOOM BANG BANG
In the name of honor
These brave warriors and was laid to rest
Rest in peace and meet your maker

In the name of honor
The honor guard folds the flag over the tomb
The sobs of the loved ones are heard in silence
Then the 21 gun salute screams into the wind with the souls of many

In the name of honor
The Patriot Guard faces the devils of Westboro
These people do not deserve the freedom of speech
But these warriors have died for these ungreatful people

In the name of honor
Fallen warriors of man and woman died for what they loved
Their families and friends
Their country and God

In the name of honor
The fallen voices dim silently
No one cares for these people anymore
The news would rather focus on celeberities and politics

In the name of honor
Let these souls rest in peace
Underneath the flag they died for
A living entity of who we are in our nation's pride

In the name of honor
The cemetaries have their names in white tomb stones
The flowers are laid for them to decorate their resting places
And loved ones visit their fallen warriros but cry with the missing spaces in their heart

In the name of honor
A Delta Force operative called his little girl
She wasn't old enough to understand what daddy was saying
But that was the last time daddy got to talk to his princess

In the name of honor
A female soldier tucks her children in their beds one last time
She kisses her husband one last time and walks out the door
She carries her large bag while she wore her uniform

In the name of honor
A young airman sits by the runway in Bagram
His girlfriend recently broke up with him
He cries with his hands over his face because his friends died too today

In the name of honor
A WWII veteran enters Arlington
He salutes to his fallen brothers
And slowly has to walk down the hill

In the name of honor
A Vietnam veteran wakes up early in the morning
He works outside in his yard but remembers the protesting
The stone thrown protesting that the hippies threw during the war

In the name of honor
Many have died to protect this country
Are we forgetting whoes the important ones with shopping sales and MTV?
Are we forgetting who defended these freedoms that we use or abuse?

In the name of honor
Rest well and you will never be forgotten
As long as this day lives and that flag breathes
You will have brought honor to us all
So this is another Veteran's Day tribute. I just want to say to those out there to always respect those who have been in the service and died in the service because they have gave so much to keep our way of living. And I've been feeling like we (as a nation) are forgetting what's really important. It's like we are replacing those who sacraficed their lives for people like Pauly D, The Situation, Snooki, and others who make their living by doing the most immature actions and influencing America's youth to do the same.
