With a soul as brave as a steadfast tree,
And as beautiful as the lights adorning its branches,
You leave your comfort to defend.

Even the strongest wind can not knock you down.
At christmas time a great pine is loved and decorated,
Like a soldier’s chest when he comes home
Celebrated and special.

I am proud of the defender of America.
