Veteran’s Day Tribute
When America had an urgent need,
These brave ones raised a hand;
No hesitation held them back;
They were proud to take a stand.
They left their friends and family;
They gave up normal life;
To serve their country and their God,
They plowed into the strife.
They fought for freedom and for peace
On strange and foreign shores;
Some lost new friends; some lost their lives
In long and brutal wars.
Other veterans answered a call
To support the ones who fought;
Their country had requirements for
The essential skills they brought.
We salute each and every one of them,
The noble and the brave,
The ones still with us here today,
And those who rest in a grave.
So here’s to our country’s heroes;
They’re a cut above the rest;
Let’s give the honor that is due
To our country’s very best.

As a former military wife, I understand the price that is paid on an entire family when someone enlist into the military and then is called on numerous deployments. God was so gracious to our family as he protected my husband during various deployments. I thank the Lord for our soldiers and their families...what dedication, what sacrifice! Let's not forget the price that has been paid and is even being paid today as men and women are overseas fighting for a freedom which soon may be extinct. America NEEDS prayer. Take time each day to pray for our newly elected officials---pray God will convict their hearts and turn them toward HIM!!!!
