Price of Freedom
Folder:
Military/Patriotic In 1776, our forefathers knew the price and paid their dues.
Again 1812 they paid the price, maintaining liberty they knew.
In 1860 as a nation divided was almost torn asunder,
They recognized the price and did not blunder.
Throughout our young nation’s history,
They understood the price to be free.
They wouldn’t cave to a tyrant’s whim,
They know it now, they knew it then.
Their blood may be found in every land,
The heroes of freedom understands
The coinage of freedom is paid in blood,
And don’t you ever forget it Bud.
A great debt we owe to these fallen heroes,
To be guardians of freedom and ready to show,
That we know the price and will gladly pay,
To keep the freedoms they won for us today.
