VETERANS DAY
Today is Veterans Day so don't forget to thank a veteran for what he or she did for this country. I have posted a Veteran's Day Poem that I got off the WWW. MICKEY
A Veteran's Day Poem
BY HOLLY RULLI
Veterans' Day will come and go
Quicker than the blink of and eye
But memories of heroes present and past
Will never, ever die.
The youth of today, do you understand?
The price brave men did pay
To preserve the freedom we enjoy
Each and every day
They were called to duty, and so they went
Not knowing what was to be
Many came home, some never did
They sacraficed so we could be free.
How lonely some of us must have felt
How scared some had to be
They paid the bill with there own blood
What a great cost to be free.
The heroes of our country
Are the ones who paved the way
For freedom and the many rights
That we enjoy today.
Next time, young folks, you pass someone
Who made be old and gray
Remember-thanks to him or her
You have your freedom today.
They may dress funny, not see as well
Walk a little slow
But they were young when duty called
And off to war they did go.
Brave men today are still at war
How scared some must be
How lonely some must feel inside
Paying the price to be free.
You may dress funny, not hear as well
You drive you cars to fast
But remember all those great men
Of the present and past.
So when you're called to duty
Not knowing what is to come
Remember all those men before you
Who fought for our freedom.
Support out President, support our troops
Support our country, too
As they go fighting for what is right
For freedom the price is due.
