Tomorrow, the nation honors our Veterans. We at the Big sites are proud of our own Jon David Kahn for putting into words and music how so many of us feel about our Veterans and active duty military personnel. It is a day for all of us to be grateful…and to Honor Back.
I Honor Back – written by Jon David Kahn
You have seen the truth
And held your brother’s hand
You bled your way through dust and wind
In some strange and foreign land
Miles in the darkness
With courage by your side
You brought the battle to them
So we can sleep at night
You honored me
With your strength
With your faith
With your fearlessness and grace
And through it all you held the flag
You honored me
Now I honor back
How can I repay a priceless sacrifice?
‘Cause some something short of everything
Just wouldn’t seem polite
You honored me
With your strength
With your faith
With your fearlessness and grace
And through it all you held the flag
You honored me
Now I honor back
With a song
And hope that it might make you feel right
When you feel wrong
‘Cause you’re a hero
Even if sometimes it feels as if you’re gone
You honored me
With your strength
With your faith
With your fearlessness and grace
And through it all you held the flag
You honored me
Now I honor back
With all my heart
With all my love
And pray that it might be enough
So you will know I understand
You honored me
Now I honor back
You honored me
I honor back
