Dear Mom and Dad, just thought I'd write
To ask you please don't cry tonight.
Be proud of your first-born, your baby girl,
Because while I was out, saving this world,
I kept dreams of our reunion in my mind.
I knew I would see you again in due time.

Dear Brother and Sister, the ones I love,
Please don't forget I'm watching from above.
I'll not let anyone bring you harm;
You were my number one fans on my right arm.
Thank you for always letting me know
That you've always loved me; don't let me go.

Dear Friends and Country, the ones I serve,
I got the fateful end that I deserve.
I gave my freedom, my soul, my life
To give you independence through pain and strife.
Thank you for understanding all of my reasons,
And being by my side through all these seasons.

Thanks to those who gave a damn
About our country through Gulf and 'Nam.
You will continue to be my inspiration
To keep this country a free nation.
