[Hammarlund] OT Veterans Day Verse

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

             Can Freedom Ring If No Voice Sings?


                                         By Duane B. Fischer



     God bless our nations Veterans,
Have mercy on their souls.
God bless our nations Veterans,
They hear the bell that tolls.

God bless our Veterans families,
Please ease their pain and woe.
God bless our Veterans families,
Hold high that flag that flows.

God heal our Veterans wounds within,
Unseen pain from scars so deep.
God heal our veterans wounds within,
And slay the ghosts that prowl their sleep.

Veterans hold high those stars and stripes,
Our founding fathers keys to peace.
Veterans hold high those stars and stripes,
For freedom dies if trust we cease!

Let freedom ring on Midwest plains,
where amber waves still grow.
Let freedom ring on midwest plains,
As westward purple mountains grow.

Let freedom ring from coast to coast,
Doves flying o'er that fruited plain.
Let freedom ring from coast to coast,
As Eagles guard the golden grain.

Peace is priceless, its never free,
We all must pay this price.
Peace is priceless, its never free,
Our eyes stand watch from sand to rice.

Our duty to Miss Liberty?
To face all foes and fight!
Our duty to Miss Liberty?
Keep ever lit her light!

She stands with pride, her torch aglow,
Watchful both day and night.
She stands with pride, her torch aglow,
For Veterans died her torch to light.
