O' Puppy said it all,
in "Hometown USA"
without the military,
where would we be today?

And to all who are out there helping,
we want to give you thanks,
a prayer goes up for each,
in every military rank...

England you're a friend,
how we respect your queen....
the hope and surety of victory
is like we've never seen...

Oh Australia..we do love you....
a friend you truly are....
to send your troops so willingly...
to travel from home so far.

The freedom that you're fighting for
comes with such a cost,
and we know deep in our heart
you would not want it lost.

For you have given all,
and All we give to you,
our true support of each,
and enough love to see you through.

Oh France with all your pastries
And perfumes for our store
With taste and smell now tainted
Won't be the same anymore

For Freedom rings for all,
here on this gusty plain...
and when all is said and done,
freedom will remain!!!!!!
