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.
