“Thank you for your service.”
You’ve heard those words before.
It means we know you put your life at risk,
For us in time of war.

How can we just say “Thank You.”
For such a noble act?
Because we don’t know better words,
And that’s a well-known fact.

But we will learn more words each day,
To try to comprehend.
The courage that it took for you,
To help us all to mend.

It was a really hurting time,
For all of us back here,
Thanks for helping us get through,
What we took back in the rear.

And more than your good humor,
Your charm has seen us through,
The dark days of a Nation’s pain,
That ebbed because of you.

Please know we stood beside you,
In that unhappy place.
Take strength from our support for you,
Whatever you must face.

And then come back to us one day,
And join us in good cheer.
We know what you did over there,
Has made us stronger here.
