Just men and women
Have heard our nations call
Left their homes and families
To defend the rights of all
Helped to save the troubled world
So we could all be free
Fought on the battlefield
Defending you and me

Standing up for freedom
Defending liberty
Thank you for your effort
To keep this world free
We know it wasn’t easy
So much heartache to go through
For helping to bring peace on earth
We give our thanks to you

The Air Force and the Army
The Navy and Marines
To all our allied forces
To you we proudly sing
All our prayers were with you
The fighting now is ceased
You are coming home again
With hope for lasting peace

Standing up for freedom
Defending liberty
Thank you for your effort
To keep this world free

We know it wasn’t easy
So much heartache to go through
For helping to bring peace on earth
We give our thanks to you

We give our thanks to you
