Whenever I see a soldier boy
No matter where it be
I give him salutation
For he means so much to me

He's not the boy we used to know
In store, at desk, or plow
He's a defender of our faith
He's in the service now

He keeps Old Glory flying
On land, and air, and sea
He lives to make our homes secure
He dies to keep us free.

LOL In our family, that applies whether you're a grown-up or a kid (read: man-child). Whatever is made, totally up to you to like it or not but if it's not (AFTER you've tried it) then you're on your own to go make somethin' else.
