Dear Lord, I’ve fought for freedom
for many nights and days
It’s now on bended knee I come to you
These words please hear me pray.
For all my friends and patriots
who never said a word
Just raised their hand and gave a nod
When they were asked to serve.
Please honor them and hold them
Your love keep them from harm
May they find some peace tonight
In Your loving arms.
For all who love this country
and stood up so brave and true
It’s only for her rights we fight
God bless the red, white and blue.
Amen
About Air Force Veteran Andrew Clark and What DAV Means to Him
Andrew Clark felt called to serve and defend the freedoms he cherishes. In 2001, Andrew enlisted in the Air Force and saw two deployments to Iraq. In 2003, he deployed with the Security Forces for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and deployed again in 2004.
Andrew’s service-related injuries – Traumatic Brain injury and epilepsy among them – have impacted his ability to easily navigate the course of his day. Thankfully, DAV has been there for Andrew. DAV helped him receive his full range of benefits, and today, Andrew pays it forward by helping other veterans through the DAV Chapter in his community.
Thanks to DAV, Andrew says
he wakes up with a purpose again.
