All Our Love and Thanks
To all the men and women Who've guarded our country's ground And placed themselves in harm While we slept . . . safe and sound. Think not that we forgot you Please know that we're so proud Your sacrifice, wounds and deaths Noble price paid. . .so well renowned To all the men and women Who left loved ones at home Your pride, your strength, your guts Keepers of freedom. . .so brave, so bold We offer prayers of thanks A pittance of what's owed As bombs burst, wounds bled And tales of selfless bravery unfold To all the men and women Whose lives were and are at stake We send love, prayer, undying faith Our homage, and our thanks . . .amen |
