I thank them for their gifts
A nation free of monarchy and titles
A nation free of slavery
A nation neither a Kaiser nor a Hitler rule
A nation that kept South Korea free
A nation behind the United Nations
A nation not understanding Viet Nam
Yet reconciled to those who fought,
A nation that held Joe Stalin and his successors at bay
A nation Sadam Hussein could not defy
A nation hunting terrorists in terrible terrain
A nation whose veterans
More often than not
Represent our very best,
To all an inadequate and quiet
Thank you
and Amen.
