Thank You

To all our soldiers Thank you for long sleepless nights Spent in far off lands Or closer to home But always protecting us You live with courage Facing enemies unseen While being afraid You learn to face it And people depend on that When you are deployed News from home must seem so rare Yet you are the ones Upholding our rights That our citizens hold dear Grim things you must see For there is a war out there Here we are sheltered But you know the truth As our first line of defense Thanks is not enough For all the struggles gone through But I hope you know That people do care And not just one day a year
