Women have served
And served with pride.

From the revolutionary war
and yet still today
Women stand side by side
with men in uniform and say
That they will support and defend
The consitution of the United States
Proudly, in the air on land and sea
They continue to fight for our freedom
Wherever that may be.
Their dedication to duty
Reflected, their selfless service was so true,
From private to general
These women did and still do.
So be thankful for these women
Past and serving still today,
Be thankful that they gave so much
And include them when you pray.
- Jennifer L. Best, SPC US Army.
