Because Of The Brave

 

America, the beautiful.
One nation under God.
A country where our fearless
fighting soldiers live and trod.

Men and women in uniform.
Proud, and brave, and strong,
keep our nation safe and free
from those who’d do us wrong.

Tyrants who would take away
the freedom we so love,
learn through their defeat
what our soldiers are made of.

Ready to fight, willing to die;
to defend, protect, and save.
America, land of the free.
Free… because of the brave.

    Found the poem “Because” of the brave on EllenBailey.com. In one verse, it lists the 5 military forces. Is this your poem or someone’s take-off. If it is your poem, how can I see its totality on your website? Thank you

    I live this poem of yours and was wondering if I could have permission to copy it to embroider either a t-shirt or quilt for myself and a friend. We both served in the military. I was in for 14 years through Desert Storm & Desert Shield and she retired with 24 years, serving in desert storm, operation enduring freedom, and other deployments. We have been friends for many years and I think many should read your poem.

    I would not sell it, and I would include your name as the author. Please let me know at your earliest convenience.
