When our country is harmed, there are those that respond.
With honor and duty they’re sent.
In war and in peace, with strength and resolve,
It’s the blood of the soldier that’s spent.
We fight and some die, on those foreign lands.
With freedom and God at our side.
And when our service is done, we need to keep on,
So we join the Legion that rides.
The souls of the fallen and breath of the living,
Bestow Gods blessings on this country’s side.
So with flags held aloft, and the sounds of thunder,
We join the Legion that rides.
When our day is past, and our duty is done
God’s angels will ask, “Have you been a provider?”
“What have you done for your country and man?”
I’ll answer with pride, “I’m an American Legion Rider”

From the revolution through this day, our Veterans are often
viewed
By the world as a group of patriot citizens
With honor and fortitude!
In all conditions, they completed their missions
They gave freedoms’ bell its ring
Across our land, still taking a stand
Vets form the Eagles wing.
Ten thousand graves, marked with stone
Ten thousand footsteps marching home.
Their duty done, no reward they claim
Yet in their heart still burns a flame.
For love of country, sacrifice for peace
No human act can make it cease.
The blood they spilled on foreign shores
From jungles to desert sand
Have forever changed this land of promise,
And made it the promise land.
For people now living in this land of the free
We beg you never forget them.
Because this one nation, under God,
Still stands because of the Veteran.
