Each day we think about you
Our thoughts of love reside
We think of all your loyalty
Our hearts are filled with pride

Colorful bright ribbons
We place where all can see
Insignias that tell you
We honor you daily

To let you know we're grateful
For freedom that we share
Always with such loyalty
This union always there

For courage comes with honor
And yes we know it's true
For every yellow ribbon
Our tribute just for you

Until you all return to us
You're with us every day
In every yellow ribbon
That proudly we display.
