Brotherhood....

[Sniperone]

I got this from another site and thought it fit ....Semper Fidelis!!!


BROTHERHOOD

BEING A BROTHER MEANS MORE THAN A NAME
IT'S NOT FOR CONVENIENCE, IT'S NOT A KID'S GAME
IT IS SOMETHING SPECIAL; WE'LL NEVER HAVE DOUBT
WE WILL REMAIN BROTHERS, THRU OUT AND THRU OUT

WE'RE HERE FOR EACH OTHER, WITHOUT QUESTIONING THE NEED
WHEN ONE OF US IS CUT, ALL OF US BLEED
IT'S GIVEN TO YOU AND IT'S GIVEN TO ME
BROTHERHOOD IS NOT EASY, AND IT DOESN'T COME FREE.

RESPECT, LOYALTY AND TRUST ARE ALWAYS SINCERE
WHEN GIVEN TO A BROTHER, WITHOUT ANY FEAR

OUR FAMILIES COME FIRST, OUR WORK IS A MUST
IN OUR BROTHER'S ABSENCE, WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE TRUST
THAT OUR BROTHER IS SAFE AND SOON HE WILL BE
RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS, ALONG SIDE OF ME

WE'LL GIVE ALL WE GOT, AND EXPECT JUST THE SAME
WE'LL ALWAYS BE LOYAL AND NEVER GIVE BLAME

WE'LL NEVER FORGET OUR BROTHERS UP ABOVE
THEY'LL ALWAYS BE BROTHERS--BROTHERS WE LOVE

AFTER ALL THIS, I HOPE YOU CAN SEE
TO BE AS A BROTHER IS AN HONOR TO ME!

In a crowd you're bound to spot him,
He's standing so very tall
Not too much impresses him;
He's seen and done it all.

His hair is short, his eyes are sharp,
But his smile's a little blue.
It's the only indication
Of the hell that he's gone through.

He belongs to a sacred brotherhood,
Always Faithful 'til the end.
He has walked right into battle
And walked back out again.

Many people think him foolish
For having no regrets
About having lived through many times
Others would forget.

He's the first to go and last to know,
But never questions why,
On whether it is right or wrong,
But only do or die.

He walks a path most won't take
And has lost much along the way,
But he thinks a lot of freedom,
It's a small price to pay.

Yes, he has chosen to live a life
Off the beaten track,
Knowing well each time he's called,
He might not make it back.

So, next time you see a Devil Dog
Standing proud and true,
Be grateful for all he's given;
He's given it for you.

Don't go up and ask him
What's it's like to be in war;
Just thank God that it's your country
He's always fighting for.

And thank him too for all the hell
He's seen in that shade of green,
Thank him for having the guts
To be a United States Marine.

Sempers,

Roger
