Today is a special dayBecause wars,And rumors of war,Never go away.To keep a nation freeThere is a price to pay.Vigilance is requiredEvery night and day.
Those who would defend usDeserve a special place.Not just within our hearts,But by the God of grace.The Lord knows who is faithful,And loyal to the cause.He picks the times for men to live,To come, or go, or pause. He knows the price of suffering.He’s seen insults and shame.He’s the only one who sees each heart,And knows where to place what blame.He heard you in the battle.He never left your side.The memories may torment at times,But peace; God can provide.The grateful now surround you,With respect that’s amplifiedEach peaceful day that passes,Each time we’re satisfied.Receive our thankful comments,Enjoy the little thingsThe smiles, the songs, the warmth, and cheerThat grateful hearts now bring.
