lyrics

He stands at attention. Hand over his brow. Listening to Taps as the casket goes down.
Those are his first pair of boots that he's had, in two tours, next to his rifle draped with his tags.
Another soldier's cross, another one gunned down, another good man lost never to hear this song.

Filled with sorrow but never shedding a tear, he recalled what his buddy had said as he stood there.
Medic, medic, bullets rain from the sky. This man had too much to live for he wasn't prepared to die.
As he bleed out awaiting his demise, he said, tell my wife I love her and to kiss my kids goodbye.

As he stood over the brave soldiers wife, he began to give her that red, blue and white and said
On behalf of the U.S. military and the Department of Defense I give you this flag 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.
