A Soldiers Reason

Hear the foot steps
Hear the songs
Watch the soldiers go to battle
All year long

What's the point?
I want to ask
We are killing our good soldiers
With no apparent task

One day I asked a veteran
Why he stayed
He claims its because
Of the difference he made

He saw his hope
Through the children's eyes
And he knew why he fought
Through these blood-curdling cries

So after wards, I understood
And to the flag I did salute
Putting a yellow ribbon on my door
I declared I support our troops
