The US armed forces deserve our gratitude



My Great Grandpop killed Germans

For freedom from the yoke

Some people think that that

Is some kinda joke



My Great Great Great Great Grandpop

Fought in the American Civil war

Although unfortunately we don't

Don't know which side he fought for



And now our gallant servicemen

Daily risk their lives

They've left their kids

They've left their pets

They've even left their wives



For you and me pal

For you and me pal



So when I see the tide turning

And people asking questions

About liberty and the treatment of prisoners

I say - those guys didn't ask to fight

They had to....



For you and me pal

For you and me pal
