Thank You

From the early patriotic seeds that were planted To the liberties we take for granted Our military is made up of the finest women and men Around the world they are sent to defend The same foundation of our American lives that make us stand tall 24/7 they are on the call Their lives in danger each and every day Spouses become mother and father when they are away Heartache and tears they cannot avoid When it is their time to be deployed For every one of them we pray for a safe return But a flagged draped coffin is much too often the news we learn From the burning sands in the desert to the stormy unforgiving seas You are the best our American Miltary You give up that one precious gift for us back home to strive Every moment, every day you lay down your lives I thank you for all you do Always holding high our Red, White and Blue
