Music "An American Medley" Our Armed Forces ~*~ For the flag that we fly of the red, white, and blue Our Military fights willingly for me and for you They have fought many wars at sea and on land For all of our country, our Armed Forces took a stand We tend to forget the sacrifices they have made Though many came home still some have had to stay Some were Prisoners Of War, some killed or injured Many the hardships those have endured So friends I humbly ask, as to God thanks we give For our health and our freedom in this land where we live Let us all bring a smile to our men and women we meet And say a simple "Thank You" to them, as their faces we greet ~*~ Louises Lodge |

"Our Military fights willingly for me and for you" The strongest line, I think...as we currently have no draft. Thank you, Ethel! |
