THANK A SOLDIER WEEK
December 19-25

We should thank our Soldiers
More than one week a year
Give them all the praise
They all deserve to hear.

Especially those who signed up
To be in the Reserve/Guard
Who have done several tours
To do a job that’s very hard.

Those who would have Joined
To help build up the Ranks
Have seen the way it really is
And instead, said, “No thanks!”

So we have stretched them thin
All of those Troops that Serve
From those who have Enlisted
To the Guard and the Reserve.

We’ve asked them to do more
And not done what they expected
And all we have to offer them
Is their Honor, we’ve Respected.

A one time Battle Tour too much
But for some, been three or four
And the way that it is going
They’ll be asked for even more.

Some said there weren’t enough
But their words fell on deaf ears
So now more Families realize
The very Worst of their Fears.

Those Families need our Thanks
As much as those who Wage our Fight
For they Suffer just as much
And we should all do them Right.

So if you know about a Family
Who has a loved one over there
It will help all of the Troops
If we let them know we Care.

The ones who Serve our Country
Should know we Care about Theirs here
So they won’t have to Worry
They already have enough to Fear.

This should be a bipartisan effort

THAT SPECIAL KIND

Since the Birth of our Nation
We have sent our Young to War
To do Battle for our Freedoms
For Truth, and Right, and More.

We take them from their Families
And send them all around the World
To show all the other Peoples
How, Freedom’s flag’s unfurled.

They’re sent with a wealth of knowledge
That they carry and spread well
Our Ambassadors to others
With a story, only they can tell.

So, as we bask in our lifestyles
And gather ‘round the Christmas Tree
Let’s say a Prayer and Give Thanks
To those who make us Free.

Lets bring them all Home for a moment
And hold them in our Heart and Mind
For each and every one’s a Hero
And each, one of a very Special kind.
