The commitment of the brave
Is something to protect.
To keep
To cherish
And to come back home to.
Gratefully, thanks go to you,
The strong and the honored
Our front-line responders,
Who rock hard stand, rise and hold-back
The perilous, unwanted, harmful reverse tides.
Assuring humanity that
The grasp on peace
And saving of untold numbers of lives,
At the highest cost,
Without hesitancy for your own life.
There is no ‘thank you” great enough.
So, I thank you from my heart and
I sincerely also thank you for sparing our freedom,
Our history and democracy from the thunder, lightning
And blinding downpours that would erode, erase and
Utterly destroy our great nation, and now because of your
Service can now move toward that more perfect union.
Without a doubt, you have served this nation
And this world well
above and beyond the call of duty.
You are priceless, and never ever forget it.
Please give this poem to anyone you know in the service: veterans, active military, national guard, first responders, government employees, etc.
