A strong soldier,
a Marine nonetheless,
in the few and proud,
and he is my brother.
The greatest man I know,
role model of my life,
he'll never back down,
and he is my brother.
A Sergeant and leader,
a great man and my blood,
always strong and never scared,
and he is my brother.
Now he's off to war,
to fight for our freedom,
to dodge past bullets...
...but he is my brother.
