About OSOT America:
Our mission is to support the morale and well-being of American forces by providing comfort, resources and education to them and their families both while they are deployed in harm’s way and after their return. As a volunteer based non-profit organization, we provide the opportunity for our community members to express their appreciation and also offer support for our troops. Engaged in the longest war of our country’s history and with our servicemen and women completing multiple tours of duty, we are committed to showing them that "We Have NOT Forgotten."

lyrics

Strength to move a mountain or keep it standing tall
Strength to stand aside as they answer the call
Watch the ships depart, they will never see you cry
We're all standing with you, Mater Vi

Grace to keep on smiling for all the days they're gone
Softly singing praises for those who carry on
Heroes in the house keeping vigil in the night
We're all watching with you Mater Vi

(Chorus)
Raise our voices as one
Keep safe our daughters and sons
Raise our song to the sky
We're all singing with you, Mater Vi

Cheering for the heroes coming home from war
Open arms are waiting as they come ashore
Many faces missing, we know their sacrifice
We're all mourning with you, Mater Vi

(Chorus)
Raise our voices as one
Keep safe our daughters and sons
Raise our song to the sky
We're all singing with you, Mater Vi
We're all singing with you, Mater Vi
