"for a marine"

signed my life away

proudly for my country

we have are problems

we have are ways

thus we have are views

they gave me a weapon

i'm trainned to protect

i fight fearlessly

under the stars and stripes

protest don't effect me

they are cowards

hiding behind words

behind signs

and there cohorts

i could die

i could live

either way i know what i did

you can spit upon my name

excessive talking leads to  blame

your poem is so awesome, my boyfriend is a paratrooper in the 82nd air, and it makes me so mad when ppl say shit about the men and women who have and are protecting this great country. God Bless
