  It is for

November 8, 2017

It is for you why I stand

And upon my heart lay my hand

For the freedom you defended,

the colors you protected,

and the troubles you faced

all happened so I may be here

For not all heroes wear capes

No, they wear so much more

You wear the heart of America

You wear the ribbons of freedom

And the beret of life

You defend the colors in which I so believe

I believe in the red that represents strength and valor

I believe in the white that represents purity

I believe in the blue that represents reverence in God

You fought for my freedom

for which I am eternally grateful

Because of you,

there is liberty and justice for all

Because of you,

we all get to live in the Land of the Free,

and the Home of the Brave
