A Tribute To Veterans

In Vietnam, Korea and both World Wars Past
Our Men Fought Bravely so Freedom Would Last
Conditions Were Not Always the Best They Could Be
Fighting a Foe You Could Not Always See:

From Mountain Highs to Valley Lows
From Jungle Drops to Paddy Patrols

Our Sinewy Sons Were Sent Over Seas
Far From Their Families And Far From Their Dreams
They Never Wrote Letters Of Hardship's Despair
Only Of Love, Yearning That One Day Soon:

They Would Come Home, They Could Resume
And Carry On With The Rest of Their Lives

The P.O.W.'S Stood Steadfast
Against the Indignities And Cruelties Of War
They Could Not Have Lasted as Long as They Did
If They Had Relinquished Their Hope that Some-Day:

They Would Come Home,
They Would Resume
And Carry On the Rest Of Their Lives

Medics, Nurses, and Chaplains Alike
Did What They Needed To Bring Back Life
They Served Our Forces From Day Into Night
Nary A Question If They Would Survive:

They Mended both Bodies And Bones
They Soothed the Spirits of Dying Souls

And for Those M.I.A'S, Who Were Left Behind
We Echo This Message Across the Seas
We Will Search For YOU as Long As It Takes
You're Not Forgotten And NEVER Will Be:

A Moment of Silence, a Moment of Summons
Is Their Deliverance of Body And Soul
To a Sacred Place That We All Know
Deep In the Shrines of Our Soul:

In Our Hearts, In Our Prayers
In Our Minds For All Time

These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds
They're Our Husbands, Fathers, and Sons
They Enlisted For the Duty at Hand
To Serve the Cause of Country and Land:

They Had Honor, They Had Valor,
They Found Glory That Changed Them Forever

Men Standing Tall and Proud
A Country Behind Them in a Solemn Sea
So Let the Flag of Freedom Fly
Unfurled in Their Majesty High:
