I was born free
American as American can be
America who did I love thee
I fought for this land of the free
I gave the blood off this body of mine
Patriotism you reward me ever so kind
I gave the sweat off my back
As an American, patriotism, I did not lack
I gave the prime of my youth for you
You commemorate me and remain ever so true
Though I have come and gone
Your heart still sings a hero’s song
I fought for American Freedom
Now I rest in God’s Kingdom

In loving memory of our American Servicemen
Their glory and loyalty shines in our eyes, amen
Lucas Carlos Jasso
