Veteran's Day, 2011

Of all the days we celebrate
With every passing year,
Veteran's Day stands out to me,
As most important here,

Because it honors those who've served
Our nation, born to be
One nation under God above,
And our sweet liberty.

Without their service through the years,
And dedication, too,
Where would our nation be today,
And our Red, White and Blue.

We wouldn't have the freedoms
We love so very much,
Nor would we have the ability
To try and keep in touch

With friends and also loved ones
Across the U. S. A.,
Nor would we enjoy liberty,
Nor freedom here to say

The pledge of allegiance to
Old Glory, flying high,
Nor could we worship God above,
Who doth our needs supply.

So let us pause and thank the men
And women who have served,
And also those who are serving today,
Showing gratitude which they've deserved,

For being willing to defend
The cause of liberty,
And all the things we stand for,
To keep America free.

May God bless America,
And every patriot here,
And all who've served and are serving
The cause of freedom, dear.

And may we all remember
That "Freedom isn't free,"
And extend a hand of thanks to all
Who've fought for liberty.

Thank YOU for serving our country
