For the freedom you fought for and the flag you stood for
For the country we cherish and the people… we love
For the bravery you showed and the fortitude you held
For the days of dedication and the nights of devotion
For the miles you walked and the skills you learned
For the months of training and the years of service
For the memories you carry of the battles you saw
For the legacy of your courage and the honor you deserve
When our nation needed you most, you answered the call
A deep and unshakable sense of allegiance and responsibility
You were bold, you did not hesitate, and you did not walk away
You were gone for holidays and anniversaries and birthdays…
Because while we were living in peace and freedom, you were fighting for it
Thank you is not enough
We can’t repay you, but we promise to remember:
You are the reason we can sing the land of the free and the home of the brave
You are the heroes among us,
You are not forgotten
You are the reason we stand in freedom today
