I am not a poet, but I wrote it. Now it is up to you to show it.

STANDING TALL

We stand tall and proud for who we serve
Ready to give all to those who deserve

Night and day we are ready to fight
Will bring karnage to those not so bright

Life for us is not a game
Every day we learn and train

Every task is performed to perfection
That allows us to move in every direction

No task is too big for us to do
Together we will accomplish it for you

We can shoot, move and communicate
And it is not determined by the date

Lives are lost and can not be replaced
But we will never show discrace

Proud to support the air, land and sea
We will never take a knee

Dedicated to what we do
We will always stand tall for all of you

We do not judge who you may be
Because you live in the land of the free
