Hail!
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for giving more than we dare.
Thank you for daring the rage, the accidents, the waiting, the endless times between defying death.
Thank you for bearing our lies.
Thank you for believing our lies.
Know that we meant them earnestly, sincerely.
We too believed them while we spoke them, believe them now when we speak them again.
We know as do you anyone sane knows you were not protecting us, no one threatened us.
We know as do you anyone sane knows you defended no liberties of ours.
While you were gone polititicians nibbled and gobbled at our liberties, just as now that you're back, they will nibble and gobble at what we owe you, claiming loudly they do it for your own good.
Thank you for knowing that, despising us, and still giving more than we dare.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you.
Hail!
