On this Veterans Day, let us remember the sacrifices made by our brave men and women over the years, and still today, let us celebrate the freedom that they secured for us, and let us pray that God will continue to bless our country with people willing to sacrifice for those they've never met.
To those who have served, and are continuing to serve, there will never be enough words to truly convey what we owe you... to convey the gratitude we hold in our hearts... all we can say is "thank you" and hope you understand what that means.
All we've been given By those who came before
The dream of a nation Where freedom would endure
The work and prayers of centuries Have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?What will our children say?
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received
Let me know in my heart When my days are through
America America I gave my best to you
Each generation from the plains To distant shore with the gifts that they were given
Were determined To leave more
Battles fought together acts of conscience fought alone
These are the seeds From which America has grown
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessingsI received
Let me know in my heart When my days are through
America America I gave my best to you
For those who think They have nothing to share
Who fear in their hearts There is no hero there
Know each quiet act of dignity is that which fortifies
The soul of a nation that never dies
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessingsI received
Let me know in my heart When my days are through
America America I gave my best to you
