In the U.S. of A.,
We have a special day,
A set memorial
For the sacrificial,
For those who fought the fight
With military might,
To preserve their homeland,
For freedom took a stand,
Who paid the highest cost,
In battle their lives lost.
Besides these soldiers, brave,
We recall those who gave
Service in other ways,
For years, or weeks or days.
Grateful to them we’ll be
For helping you and me,
‘Spec’ly those who gave all,
In response to God’s call,
The gospel truth to share
With people everywhere.
