People asked from where I came
When I said Viet Nam, they all acted the same
“You should be killed and you should die”
My heart felt heavy and I wanted to cry
I served my country, “AMERICAN PROUD”
Came home to be spit on and cursed out loud
Today the soldier is treated in a different way
They get flag wavings, parades and hugs all day
The American soldier no matter what uniform he wears
Goes through a lot because he swears
To defend his country no matter what the cost
Most of the time, he is the one to be ‘lost’
“AMERICAN PROUD” is what we are
To give our life for all, near and far
FREEDOM is what we all must win
God Bless America and ALL its soldier kin
