" A Tribute to Veterans "

You don't know my name,

But you fought for me just the same;

Your death I may never mourn,

Though you saved me before I was born,

Though we may never meet, you and I,
                  
For me, you were willing to die;

In the vast land of freedom I did grow,

Simply because of the compassion   
                                           
you chose to show;

Had it not been for you,

I wouldn't have had the chance;

To say what I feel, and when I feel, to dance;

Though your name I may never know,

Because you are a veteran, you are my hero !
