"Thank you for your service"

When someone thanks me for my service
It leaves me cold and feeling nervous

I'm glad they took the time to speak
But there’s no glory or thanks I seek

I was in the war so long ago
But it was the lies they told that made me go

There's only one thing of you I'd like to ask
Just please make this war be our last

  1. You said it best-really-gave me chills because I don't seek thanks and damn sure don't call me a hero--just stop the damn wars!

  2. All thanks to Jacob George I felt his words
    When Support the troops he said
    I shifted that to my own way
    And its turned into this thread
