Veterans Day

Veteran

I was a proud veteran
That served my country well
To those that would listen
I had many stories to tell

We fought for America’s freedom
In far away places on foreign land
Where ever the battle for democracy raged
America’s finest made a stand

We fought for your future
And the right to remain free
For we saw what freedom meant
To those not blessed with liberty

For you and yours
We would gladly have given our life
We faced the fears and perils of battle
We braved endless turmoil and strife

Please remember us veterans
And the sacrifices we made for you
Please share the blessings of freedom
Proudly wave the red, white, and blue
