There is a vintage saying:
"Out of site is out of mind".
I pray this really isn't true
for we're running out of time.

Our missing men had courage
to do what they felt was right,
so how do our politicians
find peace in sleep at night?

Our fathers, sons and husbands
gave all they could and more
to do their duty for country
and fight these awful wars.

Thank God for the ones who made it back.
Thank God for all they've done,
but what about the ones we've lost...
the ones who haven't come home?

Our nation owes our men so much,
as we do... you and I ...
to find our missing loved ones,
those alive and those who've died.

Let's bring them back to their motherland,
to the place that gave them birth
and prove to all who question
that these men have so much worth.

Please take up their cause of fighting.
Battle hard and battle long,
and make our mighty country
finally bring our lost ones home.

Say a prayer and write a letter.
Do this,  please, without a pause
for we owe this to our missing.
Please support " Operation Just Cause".
