This song was an original poem written by former Marine Corporal James M. Schmidt in 1987 whil stationed in Washington, D.C. The song was not sung, but spoken by Fr Ted Berndt. The lyrics are protected by the copyright law, but you can find them on: http://www.blackfive.net/main/2004/12/soldiers_silent.htmlThe wonderful poem expresses so much regarding the loneliness that the soldiers (young men and women) must feel being parted from their families during this time, but, each one knows they have a loyalty not to only their countries, but to protect those they love and we must ALL pray for the American and Canadian soldiers fighting for our freedom no matter whether it's a special day in our lives or not.
