GOD AND GRUNTS

Thank God and grunts for our freedom today;
G.I.s and Jesus for sacrifices they gave.
Thank the Lord and the LRRPs who paid the great price;
The Savior and sailors… in fact, thank ‘em twice.

Thank the flyers and the gunners who flew cover high;
And a thank you to He who pilots the sky.
Thank the Great Healer and the medics if you would;
For giving themselves for others, for doing all they could.

Thanks to Mary and to mothers for giving their sons;
One to the cross and many others to guns.
Give thanks to the Almighty and the artillery;
For our flag and our country and keeping them free.

Thanks to the Creator and thanks to the Corps;
For making safe our families and for so much more.
Thanks to the heroes and the Heavenly Host;
For bringing us victory when we’ve needed it most.

For our lives and the liberty to watch Grandkids play;
Thank God and the grunts for allowing us this day.
