You know the message that will come.
The message that says, sorry to inform your son/daughter died serving their country.

The honor, the glory, the pride that affects you inside.
Defending the country.
Defending the flag that many for some reasons like to burn.

With death comes respect.
Any soldier's of war deserve that.
Even some protesters respect that.

Many times, we get confused about these wars.
Why fight them?
Who created them?
A soldier doesn't have that choice to select.

He/she a product of the military.
They that died deserve to be known.
Behind them they have left a spouse/child/parents at home.

Who will highlight their plight?
And comprehend the reason they chose to fight.

So when you hear sorry to inform stated to soldier's family.
Realize its because of their child deciding to serve us with pride.

There's a message behind the flag.
Always have been.
Always will be.
