I would like to thank the Vets
that have served
To protect us, every day,
in their own way.
They go to foreign lands
that they can not say,
Leaving loved ones behind
to go where they may;
To fight for our freedom and,
so often, we don’t say
‘Thank you for leaving your
free life behind, going
Where the battles are fought,
in the heat or snow.
I want to thank you for all
the wars that you fought.
The world wars were something
that you did not desire.
Yet, you went where they sent you, for service to aspire.
Purple hearts were given
to those that were hurt.
Air medals were earned because
of you being an expert.
Thank you, dear Vet,
for giving to me freedom, today,
Because you picked up your
duffel bag and went far away.
You did not ask to be sent
to Vietnam.
When you got home things
were not calm.
People were unhappy because
of the war and never said ‘thanks’;
Regardless of your status,
your pain, or your rank.
You came back as brothers,
with a bond for each other.
Thank you, dear Vet,
for leaving your sisters and brothers.
We appreciate you that were
called on for Desert Storm.
You never complained
or came home forlorn.
The spirit was there
(of the red, white and blue).
Thank you for being so brave
and so true.
Iraq frightened you
and this we all know.
But, did you ever put on a show
For the world to see how
brave that you are?
To me you all are a
bright shining star.
Thank you VET!!!!
