I Am An American Soldier

Cody Hendrix 1983 (Texas)

I stand for honor, I stand for freedom
I know the price that can be paid if needed.
I still won’t back down from any fight.
I train hard by day and by night.
I can be big or I can be small.
Either way it goes I still stand for one goal.
The days are short, the days are long,
But I still move forward to accomplish the mission no matter what the odds or the enemy.
I am proud to stand for what is right,
I am proud to say that I am part of a powerful and the strongest military force.
