This Shabbat we salute our veterans who answered the call.
We must also remember those comrades who did fall.
Some came back much less than they were before.
Know in this community, there is always an open door.
Time away from family can never be easy.
Not an easy price, I’m sure we all can agree.
You served to make this country secure.
Few can imagine what you had to endure.
All of us should appreciate the freedom to speak our mind.
With that never ending goal of equality for all humankind.
Veterans of each branch, we salute you.
With great appreciation for all that you do.
