Thank A Veteran...Everyday

For those who sacrifice for our nation's freedoms, So timely, as Veteran's Day nears, For all those, Whom lie under draped flags, Stained red, white and with blues... Or in graves, adorned with paper poppies For the countless roll- call many, Who continue to stand in harm's way On guard, for my insured safety And right to practice my liberty... For all those who returned home, Broken, bandaged bewildered... But brave...oh so very brilliantly brave And sadly, to those who never returned Be it their body, brain, or badly bruised spirit... I, applauding with great appreciation, Thank you, pray for you, remember you With an All-American heartfelt salute.
