The Wounded Warrior--By Celine Rose Mariotti--United States

The Wounded Warrior

So young he was,
To go off to war,
But in America
He believed

So dedicated and devoted was he,
He went to fight the enemy,
The ugly enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan,

He fought to defend what America
Stands for,
Liberty and justice,
Fairness, and opportunities for all,

He was in a fierce battle,
He got hit by enemy gunfire,
Now he is in a VA hospital,
He is learning to walk again,
He is learning to talk again,
He has a long road ahead,
This Wounded Warrior,
We salute.
