Let's Not Forget Our Veterans

Let’s Not Forget Our Veterans

THERE ARE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS,
MARINES AND AIRMEN TOO
WHO SHARE THE BED AT ARLINGTON
CAUSE THEY DID NOT MAKE IT THROUGH
AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE STILL ALIVE
IN THE FOUR CORNERS OF OUR LAND
WHO CAME BACK WITH LESS THAN THEY TOOK
AND THEY NEED A HELPING HAND

CH: SO, LET'S NOT FORGET OUR VETERANS
WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE
AND THO' SOME ARE STILL ALIVE,
THEIR BODIES PAIN FROM TIME TO TIME
WHETHER IT'S FROM THEIR WOUNDS
OR SEEING THEIR BUDDIES FALL
THE PAIN WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
WHEN THEY HEAR THAT BUGLE CALL*

SO, RAISE THE FLAG ON JULY FORTH,
MEMORIAL AND VETERANS DAY
SHOW THEM WE APPRECIATE
THE PRICE THEY HAD TO PAY
AND THANK ALL OF THEM AND GOD
FOR THE LAND THAT WE LIVE IN
AND PRAY THAT WE WILL NEVER
NEED THEM TO FIGHT AGAIN
Repeat CH:-*2nd Chorus(This Bugle Call) then “Taps” plays
