We are very blessed to live in the U.S.A.
A land that is open and free.
Many would like to enjoy this privilege
But our freedom did not come free.
Those in the military who have stepped up
To defend the freedoms of this great land,
They protect the core values and great ideas
For which the United States does stand.
Over the years our military has been
Protecting freedom in the world each day.
Standing for the poor and those in need
Who often do not have a say.
So as we celebrate this Veterans Day
May we honor all those who have served.
Because of them we enjoy many freedoms
Now, may we give them the honor they deserve.
