Jerry Calow wrote this song to pay tribute to All Veterans


Thank you and God Bless!



A Tribute To Veterans



In Vietnam, Korea and World Wars Past


Our Men Fought Bravely so Freedom Would Last Conditions Where Not Always Best They Could Be Fighting a Foe You Could Not Always See:



From Mountain Highs to Valley Lows


From Jungle Drops to Desert Patrols



Our Sinewy Sons Were Sent Over Seas


Far From Their Families And Far From Their Dreams They Never Wrote Letters Of Hardships Despair Only Of Love, Yearning That One Day Soon:



They Would Come Home, They Would Resume


And Carry On With The Rest of Their Lives



The P.O.W.¹S Stood Steadfast


Against the Indignities And Cruelties Of War They Could Not Have Lasted as Long as They Did If They Had Relinquished Their Hope That Some Day:



They Would Come Home, They Would Resume


And Carry On the Rest Of Their Lives



Medics, Nurses, and Chaplains Alike


Did What They Needed To Bring Back Life


They Served Our Forces From Day Into Night Not Questioning If They Would Survive:



They Mended Bones And Bodies Too,


They Soothed the Spirits of Dying Souls



And for Those M.I.A¹S, Who Were Left Behind We Echo This Message Across the Seas We Will search For as Long As It Takes You¹re Not Forgotten And Will Always Be:



In Our Hearts, In Our Prayers,


In Our Minds For All Time



A Moment of Silence, a Moment of Summons Is Their Deliverance of Body And Soul To a Sacred Place That We All Know Deep In the Shrines of Our Soul:



In Our Hearts, In Our Prayers


In Our Minds For All Time



INTERLUDE:


GOLD STAR MOTHERS GRIEVE: ENDLESSLY,


ENDLESSLY, ENDLESSLY.......



These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds They¹re Our Husbands, Fathers, and Sons They Enlisted For the Duty at Hand To Serve the Cause of Country and Land:



They Had Honor, They Had Valor,


They Found Glory That Change Them Forever



Men Standing Tall and Proud They be


A Country Behind Them in a Solemn Sea


So Let the Flags of Freedom Fly


Unfurled in Their Majesty High:



In the Sun, In the Rain


In the Winds Across This Land



Years of Tears Has Brought Us Here


Gathering Around to Hear This Sound


So Let the Flags of Freedom Fly


Unfurled in Their Majesty High:



In the Sun, In the Rain,


In the Winds Across This Land



REPEAT:



In the Sun, In the Rain,


In the Winds For All Time
