You
bring out the best in us
You
set an impossible standard
You
helped create a world in which we will never have to be tested such as you
were
You
bled, you cried, you bonded
Became brothers and sisters in the army of Good.
You
defeated Evil.
You
are the Greatest Generation because God chose you to be His army here on
earth
You
were strong enough
You
were swift enough
And
you were just scared enough to get the job done
That's why He chose you
We
are honored to be your sons, daughters, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren
We
are honored when we are lucky enough to call you a friend
We
are amazed at your feats of bravery and forgiving of you when you faltered
in the line of duty
We
are in awe of you
You
are the stuff that super heroes are made of
The
stuff that both saints and the most wonderful of sinners are made of
Words cannot express how much we love you.
How
much we cherish you
I
promise to tell of your deeds and your stories to my children, my
grandchildren, and my great grandchildren
You
are the stars that light up our world
You
are the fabric that weaves us all together
You
are the heroes of our time
