We pause today on Veteran's Day to join in this refrain to those who risked their all for us so freedom we'd retain; For darkness they confronted in securing freedom's light, we owe them more than we can pay for risking treasured life, but gratitude will e'er endure in hearts and souls and minds of we who drink from freedom's cup the fruits of freedom's vine.
Chorus from the tribute to our troops, "Thanks in Our Name for Deeds in Our
Name": To you who defend us we proudly proclaim our pride in the deeds you
have done in our name. We thank you, we thank you for deeds in our name. We thank you,
we thank you for deeds in our name.

November
11, 2007--
We
pause today on Veterans Day to join in this refrain to those who risked their all for us so freedom
we'd retain; For darkness they confronted in securing freedom's light, we owe them more than we can
pay for risking treasured life, but gratitude will e'er endure in hearts and souls and minds of we
who drink from freedom's cup the fruits of freedom's vine. (More on Veterans Day here,
here
and here.)
Those are the lines in PoliSat.Com's "Veteran's Day Tribute &
Thanks" video. They're repeated below, line by line:
We
pause today on Veterans Day to join in this refrain
to those who risked their all for us so freedom we'd retain;
For darkness they confronted in securing freedom's light,
we owe them more than we can pay for risking treasured life,
but gratitude will e'er endure in hearts and souls and minds of
we who drink from freedom's cup the fruits of freedom's vine.
Appended
to that video is the chorus from another tribute titled, "Thanks in Our Name for Deeds in Our
Name": To you who defend us we proudly proclaim our pride in the deeds you
have done in our name. We thank you, we thank you for deeds in our name. We thank you,
we thank you for deeds in our name. Those words are repeated below, line by line:
To you who defend us we proudly proclaim
our pride in the deeds you have done in our name.
We thank you, we thank you for deeds in our name.
We thank you, we thank you for deeds in our name.
For
the entirety of the song "Thanks In Our Name For Deeds In Our Name" (and a video
"demo" version of it,) go to http://PoliSat.Com/Thanks.htm.
So
little they ask for so much that they give
so we may in freedom continue to live,
that more than just "thank you" to them we must give.
The "more" they would want is not "something" to give:
It's what's given best by our lives when we live
in ways to be worthy of all they did give.
The "everyman" Private named "Ryan" perceived
this insight returning to Normandy's beach
by posing a question whose asking does teach
the answer to what do we owe the deceased--
Asked Ryan, "Please tell me the life I did weave
has honored the gift that from them I received."
Those today who in contrast to the symbolic "Private Ryan" contemptuously denigrate our
military deserve to be described by an adaptation of Winston Churchill's famous
statementº¹
after British pilots overcame overwhelming odds to win what became known as the "Battle of
Britain." Here's the adaptation: "Never in the history of human conflict
has so much been owed [to
so few by so many idiotic, hateful ingrates]." It's so applicable to the
Hollywood Left, MoveOn.Org, ANSWER, Code Pink, and their ilk.
All of us who find such denigration of our military to be despicable should to show the Hollywood
Left that we hold them beneath contempt by refusing to spend our hard-earned dollars to pay for
their hateful megaphones, such as the latest spate of hurt-American-in-order-to-hurt-Bush movies, of
which "Lions for Lambs" is but one example. They need to learn that although our
troops are protecting their freedom to denigrate the very military protecting them in their
Hollywood cocoon, those of us who respect and appreciate such protection will not allow one penny of
our hard-earned money to fund the Hollywood Left's movies and entertainment which serve as
gift-wrapped anti-American propaganda for those recruiting fanatics to try to kill our troops.
