Thank a Vet

As you lay your head on your pillow tonite and go restfully asleep.
Take a moment to bless a vet,
Your watch he'll faithfully keep.
He doesn't ask your politics, or whether we should fight a war.
He goes where ever he is asked, no matter what's in store.

He'll leave his family to stand this watch,
A sacrifice they make.
While we enjoy our many freedoms, forgetting his life's at stake.

Some come home and rejoin us.
Some never leave their watch.
But Bless all vets every night.
Ask him to take their watch.
