THANK YOU

---

You're one of the airplane passengers who helped keep the plane going just long enough to miss hitting my grandparents' home

Thank you

You're the fireman who saved dozens of lives without any thought that you could lose your own

Thank you

You helped a friend out of the rubble even when they told you to go alone

Thank you

You're the soldier who protects us

The marine that watches over us

The army ranger who puts country before all else

Thank you

You're the man who salutes the flag each morning

The woman with a flag pin and a yellow ribbon on her jacket

The nurse who heals bodies and souls

Thank you

You give a veteran an extra smile even when you're having a bad day

You support our troops even if you don't support the president that leads them

You take just a moment every day to be grateful that we live in a free country

Thank you

For all those who make America the land of the free and the home of the brave

Thank you
