Though they are flawed
human motives blurred in
time,
maybe they are not so pure
of heart
as the One who climbed the
cross
But fair to compare
their sacrifice for us,
for the greater good,
not focused on themselves
So many veterans
those who chose to serve
sacrificing all for us
that we would be free
Like Christ in service,
submitting their will,
Offering their lives for us
that we would truly live
