On this third Saturday of May, Armed Forces Day,

And on each day we breathe the fresh air of Freedom;

We Salute You!

For the many challenges you face and overcome,

With Honor and Dignity of distinguished Service;

We Salute You!

With appreciation for your conscious choice,

And for your courage to serve a greater cause;

We Salute You!

From heartfelt respect and deepest appreciation,

Knowing you could have taken an easier path;

We Salute You!

As we contemplate the Memorial Day weekend to follow,

We bow our heads in prayer, then raise our hands and;

We Salute You!

Tempus Maximize!
