For all of the many days away...
And the nights you’ve spent alone...
For all of the time you have given...
The love and dedication you have shown...

For all of the things that you’ve been through,
The sacrifices you have made...
Whether sitting in an office...
Or dodging bullets and hand grenades...

Perhaps you are floating on a ship...
Or flying a jet fighter through the sky...
Flying a chopper, or riding a tank...
Or--watching your buddies die...

With an open heart full of appreciation,
We send our love and gratitude to you...
Thank you for keeping watch over us...
Thank you for all that you do...

Our hearts are filled with nothing but pride...
As our precious flag is unfurled...
Because of you maybe some day...
We will know peace around the world...

Thank You To Each And Every One Of You
Serving In The Armed Forces
Protecting Freedom And Our Country
And Fighting For World Peace…
 

May God Bless You and God Bless America
