As I leave America, the land I love so much,
to go across the sea to toil on foreign soil.
I go to fight aggression and terrorism for peace.

If I am fortunate enough to somehow return to America,
I hope to see again old glory waiving in the gentle breeze.

If God chooses me not to return home to America
then I hope to someday meet you at heaven's gates.

God Bless America
