More than million brave soldiers,
Over in far off France today,
Fighting the good fight for Freedom.
From our cause they will never stray.
More than million mothers sons
Who have given their all to fight,
That cruel satanic monster.
And his methods to make might right
More than million khaki-clad-
The very best we had to give;
They'll show that beast that he is mad
And make it safe for US to live
More than million noble Yanks,
Who have crossed to No Mans Land,
They ask no praise and want no thanks.
For doing their duty; they understand.
More than million young heroes
From the city, village and farm,
Anxious to fight, as everyone knows.
To save>their dear loved ones from harm
More than million service stars
Cleaning in windows from a-far.
Each one has a story TO tell,
Of some mother boy, fighting we'll.
Millions of mothers and sweethearts
Kneeling in humble reverence to pray,
Thanking their God they have their parts,
In Humanity's fight today.
