If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life, and I had to start again with just my children and my wife, I'd thank my lucky stars to be livin' here today. Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away.
And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston And New York to LA Well there's pride in every American heart And its time we stand and say
That I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA

A Tribute To Veterans
In Vietnam, Korea and World Wars Past
Our Men Fought Bravely so Freedom Would Last
Conditions Where Not Always Best They Could Be
Fighting a Foe You Could Not Always See:
From Mountain Highs to Valley Lows From Jungle Drops to Desert Patrols
Our Sinewy Sons Were Sent Over Seas Far From Their Families And Far From Their Dreams They Never Wrote Letters Of Hardships Despair Only Of Love, Yearning That One Day Soon:
They Would Come Home, They Would Resume And Carry On With The Rest of Their Lives
The P.O.W.šS Stood Steadfast Against the Indignities And Cruelties Of War They Could Not Have Lasted as Long as They Did If They Had Relinquished Their Hope That Some Day:
They Would Come Home, They Would Resume And Carry On the Rest Of Their Lives
Medics, Nurses, and Chaplains Alike Did What They Needed To Bring Back Life They Served Our Forces From Day into Night Not Questioning If They Would Survive:
They Mended Bones And Bodies Too They Soothed the Spirits of Dying Souls
And for Those M.I.AšS, Who Were Left Behind We Echo This Message Across the Seas We Will search For as Long As It Takes Youšre Not Forgotten And Will Always Be:
In Our Hearts, In Our Prayers In Our Minds For All Time
A Moment of Silence, a Moment of Summons Is Their Deliverance of Body And Soul To a Sacred Place That We All Know Deep In the Shrines of Our Soul:
In Our Hearts, In Our Prayers In Our Minds For All Time
INTERLUDE;
GOLD STAR MOTHERS GRIEVE: ENDLESSLY, ENDLESSLY, ENDLESSLY..........
These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds Theyšre Our Husbands, Fathers, and Sons They Enlisted For the Duty at Hand To Serve the Cause of Country and Land:
They Had Honor, They Had Valor They Found Glory That Change Them Forever
Men Standing Tall and Proud They be A Country Behind Them in a Solemn Sea So Let the Flags of Freedom Fly Unfurled in Their Majesty High:
In the Sun, In the Rain In the Winds Across This Land
Years of Tears Has Brought Us Here Gathering Around to Hear This Sound So Let the Flags of Freedom Fly Unfurled in Their Majesty High:
In the Sun, In the Rain In the Winds Across This Land
REPEAT:
In the Sun, In the Rain In the Winds For All Time
