When you stand to pledge allegiance
When you hit your knees to pray
For our past and for the future
Thank a veteran today
With a feeling deep inside you
With the flag that you display
With respect and admiration
Thank a veteran today
We all know that Freedom’s precious
But there is a price to pay
For the ones who pick the tab up
Thank a veteran today
When calamity approaches
They are there to bar the way
For the safety that surrounds you
Thank a veteran today
For the peace within our borders
For a place the kids can play
For the things we take for granted
Thank a veteran today
For the families behind them
For the soldiers far away
Find a way to make a difference
Thank a veteran today
If you hear someone insult them
Don’t ignore the things they say
Let them know that you’ve got their back
Thank a veteran today
From the mountains of New Hampshire
To the sands of Santa Fe
Let them know how much we love them
Thank a veteran today
For all your poetry needs
