What does Veterans Day mean to you?
Too many it's a just a day off work, it's true.
But the real reason most of us know
Is to give tribute to those that died and to show.
 
That our freedom we enjoy today cost many their life
Those fallen hero's were maybe some-body's husband or wife.
Today we honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice
So we can live free and enjoy our American life, that was the price.
 
So today honor those that kept this country free
Many in this country will celebrate watching TV
It will show the many area's where the celebration's take place
Some scoffers and Anti-war people want to only desecrate.
 
But we must also remember that the reason we won the war.
Is that the God of this nation wanted to even the score.
And keep this nation a "Nation under God"
So many have never heard this and to them this is truly odd.
