REMEMBER

We can never repay our vets,
For the job they've done for us;
They perform with great pride,
Though they make no fuss.

The stars and stripes fly over this land,
Because of their unselfish gift;
We can enjoy our great freedom,
So we should give them a lift.

Many have fought and died,
So that we can remain free;
From service to our country,
They did not want to flee.

Our country has its problems,
It has its ups and downs;
But those who serve this land,
Serve with smiles not with frowns.

Our country is not perfect,
It was built by men such as we;
But there is no other place
That I would rather be.

So, on this Memorial Day,
Remember those who are gone,
Remember to thank a veteran,
Remember to praise God with song.
