Vet Debt

5:45

Song Description:

In the age of inclusion and political correctness we often forget that

our freedom to indulge in contemporary life carries with it a debt to

our armed forces. This composition encompasses the branches of the

U.S. armed forces and just highlights some of the historical events that

few witnessed and participated in, but all Americans enjoy the benefit

of th0se military actions/responses.

Lyrics:

 

“Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the coming of the Lord.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored”

So when you’re feelin’ comfy and you think you’ve got it made, just GOOGLE “beach at Omaha” to see how others paidthe price in blood for you to watch a Sunday football game;
if you’ve not thanked a vet today you ought to be ashamed.

“America, America, God shed his grace on thee
And crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.”

As every good American should know without a doubt
our freedom wasn’t guaranteed without our soldiers’ clout. The best way to defend our shores, for most it’s plain to see; intimidation by our fighting force will keep us free.

“Over hill, over dale, we have hit the dusty trail, as those caissons go rolling along.”

Our record isn’t perfect, we’ve made more than one mistake. Yes, sometimes treaties were just lies for later men to break. When we send out our soldiers at the whim of Uncle Sam we hope we’re acting on the truth, remember Viet Nam.

“Anchors away, my boys, anchors aweigh, Faith, courage, service true,
With honor over honor over all.”

Some say that sympathy is due for countries like Japan
who raped their neighbor China, since expansion was their plan. Should we ignore two thousand plus that perished there at Pearl. I think we’ve made amends to them by building back their world.

“We’re always ready for the call,
We place our trust in Thee.
Through surf and storm and howling gale, High shall our purpose be.”

Our fickle friends across the sea deride us for our plan
to give our country back to all our people, if we can.
While pleading for protection from their enemies nearby
they opened up their borders, they’re declining now, but why?

“Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun.
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gun.”

And don’t give me that argument that frames the Middle East, that Muslims are a peaceful tribe, America’s the BEAST. Read their Koran, see how Taqiyya covers up the facts, allows them to continue with their undercover acts.

“From the halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli,We fight our country’s battles In the air, on land, and sea.”

There is no man, not even one, who at his core is good.
Just ask our Christian pastors if they’ve done all that they could. Forever destitute of peace, this world is kind of scary, but we would all be slaves ourselves without our military.

 

“Ooh say can you see
By the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed,
At the twilight’s last gleaming.”
