You led the way What more can we say You stood the Test You are the Best How hard you Fought The lessons you Taught To Answer the Call

FOR THIS YOU MADE FREEDOM GREAT FOR US ALL!

These few words come straight from the heart They’re just a small token for your brave part The great part you played in what we hold dear The freedom we enjoy, year after year Freedom to worship, freedom to pray How fortunate we are, day after day Words can’t express just how grateful we are For you DEAR VETERAN OUR SHINING STAR!
