We Applaud You
Come on in, the Crowd awaits- the Nation is on its feet
Expressing thanks for your service-dare not be discreet.
We roll out the red carpet - of jubilant praise just for you
Expressing our gratitude for all you've done and do.
We tip our hats to God for he has heard us as we say
Keep the soldiers under your wings he heard us pray.
You went into a battle yet, didn't know what to expect
Fought for our countrys freedom without any regrets.
We indeed are so blessed by the ones who did survive
Even those who succombed then, in our hearts are now alive.
Dedicated to our Veterans
Thank You
