a world away you’ve gone for us
to keep us safe and free
you stand against all odds
and lay your life on the line
a name upon the screen of my pc
soon going off to war you’d be
you smiled and made us laugh
as we wished you God speed
you said goodbye, Momma Dee
said you wont forget me
you’re in my thoughts and prayers
and I’ll not forget you
not in a million years, no
and when you come back home to us
a man changed perhaps
but still the same sweet soul
I’ll welcome you
with open arms and heart
for we all owe so much
to our heroes and you’re one
you probably didn’t want to go
but you stand tall
and face your call to duty
with apprehension and hope
keep your head up
and your butt down for now
and know we all are grateful
for the job you’re doing for us
… may it soon be over
for Koenigsreich
one of our servicemen
in Iraq
