A Marines Promise

He fights for your freedom day after day

He risks his life in a land far away

He fights a war for a reason that's clear

To fight for the country that I love so dear

Remembering the hopes and the dreams of his past

Praying all night that it won't be his last

He fights bravely in rain, sleet, and snow

He fights in places that others wouldn't dare to go

You might wonder who would want to do this

It was a Marine who made a promise.
