After the terror attack on September 11, 2001
America became a sea of stripes and stars
Patriotism swelled and people wanted revenge
Flags streamed from homes, mailboxes and cars



Sending a volunteer army into a hostile land
Once again, our country went to a foreign war
Risking our lives to defend America's honor
And the freedom we so bravely struggle for



We've been fighting and dying for five years
And the wave of patriotism seems to have waned
Many have become spiritless and apathetic
No longer rejoicing in the victory we've attained



We need your support and confidence in our mission
As we defend the liberties our country affords
To win the war on terror and keep the evil from our shores
And maintain our great republic's freedoms and rewards



Please don't desert our country's defenders
As we struggle far away from loved ones dear
Support us even if you don't agree with policy
Until the gallant fight is over, don't forget we're here
