A Child Needs To Know

 A Child Needs To Know

 Daddy, what is a veteran?
 And why do they have their own day?
 Son, a veteran is a soldier,
 Who fights so you can play.

 They are a special kind of person,
 Ones we owe more than we could ever pay.
 God gave America our soldiers,
 To protect our right to pray!

 They are brave in any battle,
 So we can sleep safe every night.
 They are proud and courageous,
 The warrior who fights our fight!

 Some are old, some are young, 
Women, men, every race,every creed.
 Son, if you see a veteran,
 You're looking at a special breed!

 No, they don't care who we are.
 They don't need to ever ask why.
 Because those we call a veteran,
 Swore to God, for us he or she would die!
