“Patriot”
Written by Todd Radek
America.
Founded by patriots. And the blood they shed.
Some are famous. Recognized by name. From Thomas Paine, Roger’s Rangers, George Washington, Betsy Ross, and Paul Revere. To Audie Murphy, The Tuskegee Airmen, Rosie the Riveter, Navajo Code Talkers and Doolittle’s Raiders.
But most are not known by name.
They are the ones who chose to stand at a moment’s notice. And those who continue to stand.
They fought at Cantigny and Belleau Wood.
They were sailors at Pearl Harbor. Marines at Iwo Jima. Soldiers at Normandy.
They were there at Osan and Incheon.
And Dien Bien Phu, Ia Drang and Khe Sanh.
They were there in Tikrit, Fallujah, Kamdesh and Wanat.
And they were there in thousands and thousands of unnamed battles and skirmishes in between and along the way.
And still are today.
They are fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters.
They are the mailman, the plumber, the stay at home mom, and the executive in his office.
They are the ones you see in parades and on TV.
Yet many more are just an unassuming face in a crowd.
And all, have answered the call.
From the ‘shot heard ‘round the world’ to the shot heard just yesterday.
From purple mountain majesty and from sea to shining sea, America is free.
America is free because of her Patriots.
America will remain free…because of her Patriots.
