"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Our Veterans have served to keep us free.
They have fought on land and on the sea.
They have lived under fire and under attack
and some of them would never come back.

They carried a helmet and a gun
into the fields of World War I;
just a few years later they fought anew,
and stormed the beaches in World War II.

They survived Korea, and Vietnam,
and liberated Kuwait from Saddam.
These battles would have never been won
without the job our forces have done.

So to every man who carried a gun,
Thanks to Veterans, each and every one!
