Heroes are all around us
they protect and defend us
They do this without thanks
People just pass them by,
Unmoved by their sacrifice
Comrades of theirs have paid the ultimate price
From our country's inception they have fought and died, while some survived.
From Valley Forge to Gettysburg,
From the Somme to Normandy and Iwo Jima
From the rice patties to the deserts of Iraq.
Some heroes don't have to join the Army or Navy
Some are volunteers
The Civil Air Patrol is made up of these
Search and Rescue, Emergency Services and Disaster Relief
You don't have to pick up a gun to be a hero,
Just go and help
-Clifford K Russo CAP Cadet Staff Sgt.
