To all who’ve stood tall for freedom
Those of us
who’ve never served
can’t truly understand
the sacrifices that you made
protecting life and land.
You were called from homes and jobs.
You never turned around.
You did more than was asked of you
in air, on sea, on ground.
You gave for us
in freedom’s name
‘til now the time has come
for us to give you in return
a “Thank you!” Every one. © 1991
