Our People



There they are. Fighting. Fighting for us,

Fighting to keep us safe. To keep the United States "united"

After all thats what we are, isn it?

Young men and women eighteen and up, putting their lives on the line, and for what?

So that when they come home, even though for many there is no home

We give little thought to them, we put our own people

Men and women who leave to keep us safe, out on the streets with little to eat or drink

They should the have right to come back to a home

The right to drink at 18

Yeah theres alot of controversy over the right to drink at 18

So what?

They can die for us

Protect us

Serve with dignity, loyalty and pride

But they cant drink?

This is a right these men and women should have

This is the right our people, OUR SOLDIERS should have
