To those lucky enough to have served in the armed forces - appreciation for their courage.
We hold the men and women
Of the Armed Forces in highest regard -
A Veterans Day filled with awe
As Americans demand
A lasting stand in the world order.

Executive leadership must proudly
Advance a patriotic service
To this great nation. 
A country of past and present,
Distinguished actors and partners
Marred by callous wars
And emboldened enterprises.

Visions heed that wondrous praise;
The values of this honor
So inspiring…

As the respect for the nation
Is forever epitomized,
Both in service to the flag
And appreciation of wearing
The uniform.
