Have you thanked a VET today?

I open my eyes
Look to the sky's
And say 
It's going to be a beautiful day

I get to do as I do
Go where I choose
And be who I wana be
Because I am free

Have you thanked a VET today?
Have you told them your grateful and gay
For all things they had gone through
done for you
All the Things they had seen
All the deaths in between
All the family's that dream
Everything...just you and me
Have you thanked a VET for today?

We get to work where we work
We get to wake when we wake
We get to take what we take
For granted
And forget where we are
Forget how we got here
And forget that there near
Right here beside you 
Waiting for you to say
Have you thanked a VET today?

Cause I did!!!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wake up everyday with a Vietnam vet by my side and everyday I never say the words that he deserves to her... So here you go dad...Thank you and everyone else that served in the military for me and the world to be able to express ourselves however we do... Love you even tho I don't say it enough :)
