Analysis of Veteran's Day
I think of your valor
In being willing to take a stand for
liberty
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.
