Iraqi Freedom

"God will bless you with a great life if you go out and vote. This is your last chance to vote."

These words echoed through the streets of Ramadi, Iraq from a local mosque.

The plea of History…
The plea for peace…
The plea for freedom…
Is within their reach

They came in droves to vote for life
They voted to end the terrorist strife
They have different opinions and different beliefs
But they decided to address them politically

American led
American bled
American Patriots honor their dead
We came to liberate and protect our own
Tyranny has ended
A madman dethroned

Arise New Iraqis!
Arise New Iraq!
Taste and savor the freedom
Three years ago you lacked

The road to freedom’s a long one,
and some areas unpaved
with purple stained fingers to guide you
this is truly your day

The cup of freedom is engraved
With the deeds of brave men
This day will be inscribed
‘The day Iraqi freedom began’
