Thank you, Soldier.....

Today I thank you, every single soldier, every single veteran.  Those that are safe at home, those that are out there still, waiting to come home.  I thank the ones whose lives were lost fighting for us.  I remember fondly, the ones who made it home, and have passed away for other reasons.  I cannot fathom the horrors you endured, the nights that are so long, the families at home worried every single day.  I thank you for what you are doing, what you have done, and what you will continue to do for people you don't even know.  God Bless You today, and every single day.  May He keep you safe in His loving hands.  Again, I say thank you.

 

Because of you, I am here

Because of you, I am able to live freely

 

Yet I do not know you

And I have not done anything for you

 

But there you stand, ready to fight

And there you are prepared to die

For me

 

You've fought before

And you'll fight again

For someone you don't know

 

So thank you Unknown Soldier

Fighting for me

 

I'm here because of you

And I owe my future to you
