One Band of Freedom Fighters

One Band of Freedom Fighters

As we gleefully greet another Independence Day

With parades, fireworks, and celebration

Let us take a moment so we may say

A few words of appreciation.

Countless lives were lost to insure liberty

While there were protesters carrying signs

One group that means a lot to me

Is one they called The Fine Nine

In The Nam they gave it all one day

Saving others from the wounds of war

It's for them and countless others I pray

Who took their oath and swore

They swore to fight for their county's good

And left families home and waiting

It's for people like them it should be understood

They are our reason for
celebrating

The close knit group of hearty men

Who were the first aide providers

Left their souls where war had been

That one band of freedom fighters
