Our Veterans have served to keep us free.

They have fought on land and on the sea.

They have lived under fire and under attack

and some of them would never come back.

They carried a helmet and a gun

into the fields of World War I;

just a few years later they fought anew,

and stormed the beaches in World War II.

They survived Korea, and Vietnam,

and liberated Kuwait from Saddam.

These battles would have never been won

without the job our forces have done.

So to every man who carried a gun,

Thanks to Veterans, each and every one!
