Vererans Day

I want to thank every veteran,
you’ve worked hard and kept evil at bay.
Thank you for your service,
and our continued freedom here today.

You are our beacon of Hope,
and a powerful guiding light.
I’m thankful for your sacrifice,
and protecting us every night.

I’m proud of how you chose to live,
and how you chose to die.
This is the Land of the Free,
and you are the reason why.

Thank you for our way of life,
and making sure that Flag will always wave.
We’re still here because of you,
each white cross and every grave.
