Uncle Sam might have called you,
but you were commissioned by a Higher Power
For he needed you to be
the men and women of the hour.He says greater love has no man
Than to lay down his life for a friend;
How much greater love has he that does it
for those who are not yet his friends.For all your days of service;
being the Brave to the Land of the Free
I pray for every blessing from heaven
to come down upon thee.I pray His peace upon you,
your spirit, soul and mind;
that He would remove the sting from any memories
so you may share them at very special times.I thank you for your service
and all that you have done
To protect Old Glory so she still waves
in the breeze; under the sun.Please accept this heartfelt gesture
that is long overdue,
This Free American says,
“Welcome home and America loves you.”So as you go on your way today,
by Marci Chappell
know you had a special part to play
keeping the freedom this country knows
and never be afraid to let your valor show.
