Analysis of Veteran's Day
I think of your valor
In being willing to take a stand for liberty
I am speechless
In light of your bravery
I know your type
Is not charmed by show-offs in the ranks
Nonetheless
Please lower your guard for a moment
And hear a grateful nation's thanks
It's not the battles you fight
It's signing the line saying you will
