lyrics

He stands at attention hand over his brow
listening to taps as the casket goes down
those are the first brand new pair of boots that hes had
in two tours, next to his rifle draped with his tags

Another soldiers cross, another one gunned down
Another good man lost never to hear this song

Filled with sorrow never shedding a tear
he recalled what his buddy said as he quietly stood there
Medic, medic, bullets rained from the sky
this man had too much to live for he wasnt prepared to die
as bled out, waiting his demise, tell my wife I love her
and kiss my kids good bye

As he stood over the brave soldiers wife
he began to give her that red, blue and white and said
on behalf of the US Military and the Department of Defense
we give this flag in for the fallen in remembrance

Out of honor and respect for the fallen and the brave
keep them in your thoughts with every breath you take
