A Veterans Prayer


Dear Lord, I've served my country,
My love for her is strong.
I've stood behind "Old Glory"…
When others thought her wrong.

I've joined in celebration
And raised a toast in cheer.
I've pledged her my allegiance
And sung her anthem dear.

I've wept for fallen comrades
Who proudly fought and died.
The freedoms they defended…
I cherish deep inside.

I'm proud I'm an American.
For her strength and peace I pray.
There is no greater country…
GOD BLESS the USA!

John E. Kleiman
