"A Tribute to Our WWII Vets"

My Grandpa, and your Grandpa
Maybe even a great Uncle or two
They went off to fight a war
And they called it World War II

They knew what they were doing
When they left their families
Even though it wasn't easy
They fought to keep the peace

I know that if it wasn't for them
And their courage along the way
That we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms
That we hold so dear, today

They made lots of sacrifices
To protect the U.S.A.
Some made it back, and some did not
For those that didn't, let us pray

Although there are so few of you
We lose so many more each day
But at least we know, because of you
Our FREEDOM'S here to stay!

God Bless you all
And from all of us our thanks
Because of you, there will always be
Total FREEDOM throughout our ranks!
