There's a group we can be thankful for.  

It's the American Armed Forces Veterans 

Those we send off in the time of war.  

Our veterans have served us proudly 

Willing to fight for old Uncle Sam.  

Be it on the beaches of France or Iwo Jima 

Korea, in Afghanistan, Iraq or Viet Nam.  

There are always some brave Americans 

Who are willing to perform the task!  

They will fight for the freedom of others 

All their country has to do is ask!  

They'll spend years away from their families 

But for liberty, they will go out and try.  

They'll live in the jungles, desert and foxholes 

And for your freedom, some of them will die!  

If you love this great country we live in 

Remember the cost that was paid, better yet.  

The next time you see a person who served 

Go shake their hand and say "thanks" to a Vet.
