Proud Young Soldier

Words and Music by Paul R. Orshoski (BMI) and Richard Melvin Brown (Socan)

Verse One:

He went to war in 64 before she reached age one,
He fought for freedom in the air; his tour had just begun.
He crashed to earth while trapped inside a flaming hot jet bomber,
She later learned that Vietnam was where she lost her father.

Chorus:

He died a proud young soldier in a hostile foreign land
While fighting for his Country and his love for Uncle Sam.
The memory of his wartime death for some fades more each day,
But the proud young soldier in her heart will never pass away.

Verse Two:

The year was 1991, the Gulf War was going strong,
His troop was on a mission near an angry rival throng.
While in the line of fire tending bravely to another,
Death struck again in Desert Storm this time it was her brother.

REPEAT Chorus:

Verse Three:

In time the war on terror took armed forces to Iraq,
Where he and others like him fought to thwart off each attack.
While patrolling streets in Baghdad, snipers shot them one by one,
And Iraqi Freedom gunfire took away her only son.

REPEAT Chorus
