ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL NATION…
On behalf of a grateful nation, we apologize.
Your efforts, so often given in vain,
You fought for those that couldn’t care,
for Each other and for survival; much as you fought for us.
Mocked by the cowardly masses,
spit-on
and hated,
Always know you will be revered in our hearts
Although our souls know nothing of the torment you suffered,
Find solace that our lack of appreciation haunts us daily.
You fine and glorious soldiers of our great nation’s military,
You are the pinnacle of bravery and light to which we affix our honor.
I cannot think of better ambassadors of the American people so,
On behalf of a grateful nation, we apologize.
