KEEPERS OF THE PEACE

Heart touching, patriotic video dedicated to America's courageous Soldiers who safeguard liberty and democracy throughout the world. These selfless "Serviens" have all signed a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount, up to and including my life; which many of our Veterans have paid in full. Thank you for serving and God bless America! KEEPERS OF THE PEACE LYRICS BELOW!

Verse 1:
When I was nineteen, I put on Army green; I told my mama not to cry, kissed my best girlfriend goodbye; I left behind all the things I loved, proud to go and shed my blood; In a foriegn land called Vietnam, trying to help my fellow man; We are the keepers of the peace.

Verse2:
And when I left Nam, they sent me back home; But it wasn't long, before I heard the call; Of the Cold War echo from the Wall; So I volunteered for overseas, and packed my bags for Germany; Where we put an end to the tyranny, and carved a brand new destiny; We are the keepers of the peace.

Chorus:
We are the Keepers of the Peace; The brave men and women, who fight to keep us free; Serviens of liberty, We are the keepers of the peace. We are the keepers of the peace; Standing side by side, our strength in unity; Helping hands for democracy; We are the keepers of the peace.

Verse3:
After the fall, of the Berlin Wall; My celebration, didn't last too long; "Fore the War on Terrorism came along; Now it's up to you, it's up to me; To carry the fight for liberty; From the desert sands, of the Holy Lands; To the hallowed shores, of our homeland; We are the keepers of the peace.

Bridge:
From the Central Highlands of Vietnam, To the Aral Mountains of Afghanistan; From Panama to Somalia, South Korea to Bosnia; From Ho Chi Minh City, To Kuwait City; We are the keepers of the peace.

Repeat Chorus:

help settle a bet ... a friend of mine said it is "Lest We Forget" .. but i'm trying to tell him it is actually "Least We Forget" ..

"Lest" isn't even a word ..

help settle this once and for all .. who is correct???

[ArceMckinley]

@torontothegood "Lest We Forget" is a plea not to forget the past sacrifices of others. It is taken from the Rudyard Kipling poem, "Recessional", and is often found as the only wording on war memorials, used as an epitaph. God of our fathers, known of old—Lord of our far-flung battle line—Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine—Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

[ArceMckinley]

We'll be proud to send you the tabs and lyrics. Thank you for your support!!

Here are some books for you to read. Start with "how to raise your self-esteem" by nathaniel branden. Go to meetings.. don't think about going to goddamned meetings.. just go. After that read, "healing the shame that binds you" by bradshaw. Another thing is this: you can choose your thoughts amigo.. and also.. you can stop your goddamned brain using this question "what is my next thought?".. you will realize you can stop thinking and are still alive. Check out Tom Campbell's "my big toe" on YT

[mrCbeems]

Whatever your goddamned philosophical beliefs.. there is a current veteran suicide problem. If you happen to a vet and thinking about doing yourself.. try this out for size. Your country (of which I am a part like it or not) needs you to by any means possible achieve self-sustenance and autonomy. I know its a tall order.. Im 50 and haven't made the autonomy dream a reality.. but I'll be goddamned if I'll give up. You've got a lot reading and learning to do m'friend.. so get busy.

this country is obsssed with our military, wars are telivised as if they were sporting events, If you disagree with the war you are belittled for "not honoring the men who give us freedom" this is the murder of free speech. These people who join the army are treated as if we owed our lives to them, how stupid. There is one reason our country is safe...nukes. Fuck the soldiers, they couldn't hold their own in any firefight. "we're beong shot at, fly some f-16's with napalm to save us"

@AshleySchafferBMW Bet you voted for Obi-wan & believed in his "hope & changie". The nation is falling apart because Dem's believe in Karl Marx and this President is accelerating "full throttle" to make sure the USA falls over the cliff. Our military is an extension of our society, some think just like you; SOCIALISM. Oama Bin Laden initiated the destruction of America because Billy didn't have the balls to stop him when he had chance, now OBAMA Bin Laden will make sure that Osama will succeed.
