Lest I Forget

“There are those who speak about you who say, ‘He lost an arm, he lost a leg, she lost her sight.’

I object!

You gave your arm, you gave your leg, you gave your sight, as gifts to your nation so that we might live in freedom.

Thank you. And to your families, families of the fallen and families of the wounded, you’ve sacrificed in ways that those of us who have not walked in your shoes, can only imagine.”

General Peter M. Pace

Imagine the face of the boy next door
Who answered the call and he went to war
To serve the Armed Forces that I might be free
God bless that boy who sacrificed for me
America’s finest, the proud and the brave
He is the face of freedom

Lest I forget those who fought for my freedoms
Lest I forget those who suffered and died
Lest I forget those still missing in action
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.

Imagine the face of the girl next door
Who answered the call and she went to war
To serve the Armed Forces that I might be free
God bless that girl who sacrificed for me
America’s finest, the proud and the brave
She is the face of freedom

Lest I forget those who fought for my freedoms
Lest I forget those who suffered and died
Lest I forget those still missing in action
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.

How can I express my thoughts of gratitude and pride,
For every man and woman who has served beneath our flag?
Unworthy of their valor and the sacrifices made
Thank you from the land of the free and the home, the home of the brave

Lest I forget those who fought for my freedoms
Lest I forget those who suffered and died
Lest I forget those still missing in action
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.
My Red, White, and Blue will fly.
