To me it means a lot, my fiance is a U.S. Marine and is on the Presidential Helicopter Squadron and flies quite a bit. I know he is just a portion of all that is guarding our country, but yet he is too. Therefore, it means a lot when it says "Then I can keep by your side". Another part is "coming home next year" because he very seldom gets to come home. I know this is not what the song means, about a Marine and his fiance, but that's what it means to me. I love you Howeman!
