Honor The Vets

I looked at the grave stones of the veteran dead Tears filled my eyes as I bowed my head. All of them had served their country proud Now they lay in this ground. They were sons and daughters, mothers and fathers Sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts And the list goes on and on. But how many of them are honored with a flower or two. It’s really not hard to do. They gave their lives so that we can be free Don’t they deserve some dignity? This country is standing on the lives of the dead All of these have died, and many have bled. Freedom isn’t really free Other wise these grave stones you would not see. Isn’t there someone in your family Who died fighting for liberty? Let us honor the dead And thank the living for all that they have given.
