It is the Veteran, not the preacher
Who has given us religious freedom
It is the Veteran, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Veteran, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the Veteran, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Veteran, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Veteran
Who salutes the flag
It is the Veteran
Who serves under the flag.
Eternal rest grant unto them O LORD
And let Perpetual light shine upon them.
Who has given us religious freedom
