YOU GAVE OF YOURSELF
Life without that of one who serves their country
Proudly, freely, and valiantly would be
A life void of love, dreams, and freedom.
A life void of the many treasures so many of us call life...
Children, mates, cars, boats, planes, photos,
Books, stories, smiles, are all a precious part of life.
To those of you wear the uniform
Of your country with pride today,
And for those of you who wore the uniform in days past,
These few words go out to you, and hope they bring life
In all its fullness unto you and yours.
You gave of yourself, to protect and keep
That life which you had learned and begun to love.
You gave of your family, you gave of your life.
Some came home, some never did, some live in our memories,
Some in our tears, taken in life both young and old,
No score card to determine who went and who returned.
So accept these simple words of thanks.
Thank You.
