"History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout history, they’ve answered the call in bravery and sacrifice."
Tim Pawlenty 1960 American Politician
THANK A VET
No one wants to say goodbye
To mothers, fathers, husbands, and wives
And surely they don't wish to die
But will volunteer unselfishly in times of strife
There never, ever seems to be
A shortage of brave Americans
When there comes a threat to liberty
They will brave the seas and hottest sands
They have suffered in jungles, been shot down in planes
Some had lost their dearest friend
They have taken bullets and been driven insane
When they come home for some the war will never end
It seems such a small gesture
When asked to thank a vet
There doesn't seem to be a measure
For the gratitude our veterans ought to get
