We Honor You

We Honor You Today


To our US Veteran
Far and near
We thank you for your service
For all those years

Your sacrificed your time
Some gave your life
You preserved our freedom
And willingly paid the price

Many of you
You were sent over seas
You were wounded in battle
With scars and disease

But, Courageous and brave
You weathered the storm
You faced every battle
With faith and beyond

We honor you with joy
For all that you've done
You stood strong for our country
For our daughters and sons

So, no one stands alone
We walk hand in hand
Remember we are with you
Together we shall stand

We salute you today
With all our love you
Let our words speak eloquently
In this special way

On this Veterans Day
Let us express our love and thanks
For the sacrifice you paid
You served in Honor
For many years and days
We will never forget
That you was strong and brave
