OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,[Veterans Day Ceremony]
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.WE THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT SO COURAGEOUSLY FOR OUR NATION.
THANK YOU, OH GOD, FOR AMERICA AND THE FREEDOMS OUR VETERANS HAVE FOUGHT SO HARD TO PROTECT.
OUR VETERANS FOUGHT COURAGEOUSLY IN STORMS OF FIRE AND BLOOD SO THAT WE MAY ENJOY THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM.
WE HONOR THOSE ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ALL DID SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY TO HELP US ENJOY THE FREEDOM THAT WE TREASURE AS WE STAND HERE TODAY.
THEY CHOSE OVER EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO SELFLESSLY SERVE OUR ARMED FORCES.
UNSURE OF WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE, THEIR SACRIFICE TO LEAVE THE LIFE THAT THEY KNOW IT AND TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD FAR AWAY.
TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY IS A BRAVERY AND A COURAGE THAT NOT MANY OF US HAVE.
IT'S A TIME TO HONOR THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, AND THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO GOING FORWARD, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE STATE OF WORLD AFFAIRS RIGHT NOW.
NEVER FORGET WHAT OUR VETERANS HAVE DONE FOR OUR NATION.
I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE NOT ONLY, UM, IN TIMES OF NEED, WERE YOU THERE TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM ACROSS THE WORLD.
BUT I DO WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
VETERANS DAY IS A DAY FOR THE SAILOR SAILING THE SEAS VETERANS.
A DAY IS A DAY FOR THE SOLDIER AT WAR.
VETERAN'S DAY IS A DAY FOR THE AIRMEN SOARING IN THE SKY.
VETERANS A DAY IS A DAY FOR THE ARMY STRONG.
THOSE LIVING AND THOSE WHO DIED AND VETERANS DAY AS FAR AS SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS WHO ARE LIVING ON EDGE, VETERANS DAY IS FOR THEIR SPOUSE WHO HAD TO TALK THEM OFF THE LEDGE.
VETERANS DAY IS FOR THE LITTLE CHILD WHO CRIES FOR THEIR PARENT.
VETERANS DAY IS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY BECAUSE SOMETIMES THAT ISN'T SO APPARENT.
VETERAN'S DAY IS FOR THE TROUBLED MARRIAGES BECAUSE SOMETIMES SEPARATION CAUSES FRICTION.
VETERAN'S DAY IS FOR THAT HOMELESS VET WHO'S BATTLING ADDICTION.
YOU TELL US TO GIVE HONOR TO THOSE WHO ARE WORTHY OF HONOR.
AND TODAY, OUR VETERANS ARE TRULY WORTHY OF HONOR.
WE ASK YOU, DEAR LORD, THAT YOU WILL KEEP THESE VETERANS, THOSE THAT ARE HERE TODAY, THOSE THAT CAN'T BE HERE TODAY, THOSE THAT ARE IN THE FUTURE.
LORD THO ALL OF OUR VETERANS, WE ASK YOU TO KEEP YOUR HAND UPON THEM, PROTECT THEM, PROTECT THEIR MINDS, PROTECT THEM GOD FROM THE THINGS THAT, THAT THEY GO THROUGH EVERY DAY.
