Heroes for our Heroes

I had written this poem some time ago, and it appears in a few places here and there around the net. For those of you who don't know my complete background, I was a soldier in the U.S Army. No matter what I believe politically about the war that we are currently in, I hurt for my brothers and sisters in arms, and I know that every ounce of support that we can give them is a blessing.

Heroes for our Heroes
In a far off land, they fight for us,
to protect our right to be.
They asked no questions, offered no objection,
they all went willingly.
Long hard years they've fought for us
and continue still today
To keep terror from our children's hearts
and defend our country's way
They are our brothers, they are our sisters
fighting for our freedoms every day
They are our children, mothers and fathers
and such an awful price some pay
They are our heroes, they are our champions
our soldiers who defend
And we will be their heroes and champions
we stand and fight for them
Some will question why they are there
some march, and some protest
But these are the freedoms, you must admit
our heroes are there to protect.
