Salute

Thank you for serving God and our Country
If somehow we should make you uncomfortable
Or maybe offend you in any way
By our thoughtless words or actions
Then just let us know and say

We have no way of knowing
Those of us who haven’t been
Where you have gone to serve
And what you have done or seen

So please forgive us for our thoughtlessness
And let us know how you feel
Just remember God will give us another chance
And we wish you would as well

I know there are things
We would not understand
We couldn’t unless we had been there
Where you have served and been

God bless you for your service
And let us understand
All the sacrifices you have made for us
Just to be our normal selves

Freedom is something
You can’t put a price upon
But you have done the things
That God would have done

He gave us his son
To pay for our sins
You gave us your life
To pay for ours

So thank you for your service
To God and man
And forgive us when we offend
The Lord will surely help us to understand

Amen! Love the shout out to our soldiers. Nice work!

Thanks Ms. Lora. I realized in talking to one of my new co-workers that sometimes what we say is a reminder of things they had rather forget and we really don't know what they have gone through so it was kind of an apologize.

That is so sweet of you. We all owe our soldiers a tremendous debt of gratitude and support in whatever way we are able, even if it is just to keep them in our prayers.

Our military deserve our appreciation. They will be pleased that you honor them.
