The Call to Duty

A call to duty is sent out

And the strong and the brave reply.

They do it for love of country,

So there's never a need to ask why

They leave behind all that they love,

Their families, their homes and their lives,

Because to preserve these precious things

Is the goal for which each soldier strives.

So God bless our troops,

The courageous women and men,

Who fight to make sure

The bells of freedom peal again.
