Thank You For Your Service

Thank You for Your Service
Thank you for your service
And the hardships you endured
To keep this country’s freedom 
Safe and well secured

Thank you for your service
For the times you may have cried
As you found a fallen soldier
And knelt there by their side

Thank you for your service
As you gave us all your time
For all the scars you carry
On your body and your mind

Thank you for your service
And the courage you have shown
When faced with unknown forces
And feeling all alone

Thank you for your service
And the time you spent away
From all your friends and family
That’s a debt we can’t repay

Safe, sane and secured. That is what the military is all about. After finding filings silver plated, And many things had anticipated; While we waited, Getting educated, Were excited then highly elated.
