Many blessings and thanks to the dungaree navy who live by the words, "You have to got out but you don't have to come back."

"Be Thankful For The Soldier"

Lord, I thank You for the soldier, that fights for my Freedom's rights, The soldier that saw a way in his heart, to fight my Freedom's fight.

When I bow my head, on this year's Thanksgiving Day, A special prayer I will send, to keep them from harm's way.

Instead of hanging Fall foliage, it's Old Glory I will fly, And be Thankful for the chance, to stand before her and cry.

Each tear that I shed, will be for their family's fears. Lord bring them home safely, for next year's Thanksgiving cheers.

Make them see we miss them, and that we really care, And that we'll stand behind them, in this fight they bear.

For those that have fallen, Please hold that Mother's hand, Ease the pain in her heart, she grieves for her brave young man.

Thanksgiving in America, should be shedding a whole new light, The radiance of the Red, White and Blue, the colors for which we fight.

Be Thankful for that Soldier, and their Families as well, When you bow your head and listen, you'll hear the Freedom Bell.
