We stood for freedom just like you And loved the flag you cherish too
Our uniforms felt great to wear You know the feel, and how you care
In step we marched, the cadence way The same is true with you today
Oh how we tried to do our best As you do now, from test to test
How young we were and proud to be Defenders of true liberty
So many thoughts bind soldiers well The facts may change, not how we jell
Each soldier past, and you now here Do share what will not disappear
One thought now comes, straight from my heart For soldiers home, who've done their part
I'm honored to have served with you May Godly peace, help get you through
And now I'll end with a request Do ponder this, while home at rest
America, respect our day Each veteran, helped freedom stay
Song Version
We stood for freedom just
like you And loved the flag you cherish too
Our uniforms felt great to wear You know the feel,
and how you care
Chorus: How young we were and
proud to be Defenders of true liberty
In step
we marched, the cadence way The same is true with you
today
Oh how we tried to do our best As you do
now, from test to test
Chorus: How young we
were and proud to be Defenders of true liberty
So many thoughts bind soldiers well The facts may
change, not how we jell
Each soldier past, and
you now here Do share what will not disappear
One thought now comes, straight from my heart For
soldiers home, who’ve done their part
I’m honored
to have served with you May Godly peace, help get you
through
Chorus: How young we were and proud to
be Defenders of true liberty
And now I’ll end
with a request Do ponder this, while home at rest
America, respect our day Each veteran, helped
freedom stay
Chorus: How young we were and
proud to be Defenders of true liberty How young we
were and proud to be Defenders of true li-ber-ty
