From beginning to end it’s all that I’ve known,
Redeemed by the brave this place I call home.
Ever safe in my speech never had to beware,
Except to say that - some don’t really care.
I won’t take it for granted all the lives lost,
Or ever forget - nor ignore the cost.
Many heartfelt blessings and expressed gratitude,
Freedom! For freedom, and The Red, White, and Blue.
- J. Arndt
