 Voices of the Lord

Thank You Veterans



This is to all
the Veterans out there

I'd like to
thank you and to share

My heartfelt thanks
for what you have done

For your country
and your sacrifices
in the battles you have won

Let's see,
we have
World War 1 and 11,
Korea, Vietnam along
with the Gulf War as well

You are now
helping to liberate
Iraq citizens since their
leader has been overtaken and fell

I am
so grateful to all
of you, I can't express,
in words my admiration for you too

Many have come back
from battle in body bags,
you were injured and maimed

When you came
back from Vietnam
you were treated so badly and blamed

We have not given
you proper honor from that war

Please
forgive us
in your heart
and spirit some of us tore

Thank you
our Service Members
here is a hug and a salute for standing tall

You defend
Old Glory and
our country the
United States of America,
you answered the call

You have given
your country your
blood sweat and your tears

Thank you
for your devotion
to us, throughout all of your years.
