For the freedom to go anywhere you want without fear
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
For the freedom to choose what you read and write and what you hear
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
For the freedom to select the church that you wish to attend
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
Chorus
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran
Fighting so courageously for our life and liberty...
For the freedom to speak freely and protest the government
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
For the freedom to pick leaders who will represent your voice
Thank a veteran, thank a veteran...
Chorus
This day and every day, thank a veteran
This day…and every day…thank a veteran
