For every shot fired,
For every life forever altered,
For every young life laid down in sacrifice,
So that we might unite
As we do today...
Thank you.
Waving to old friends,
Building new bridges,
Creating memories,
And reliving history...
We remember.
You are not forgotten.
Young eyes learn
Of honor, dedication, loyalty
That they might grow
To serve and defend
That which is most valuable.
It isn't just a government,
Or a land mass,
Or even a people.
It is a set of beliefs,
A history,
A way of life,
Unique unto itself.
America, there is none other.
Happy Birthday.
