God Bless the Veterans

The 11th month the 11th day the 11th hour. With gratitude and respect we remember the Fallen.

As we express our gratitude, must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

John Kennedy

GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS

Dear soldier there will come a time

To move forward on the path, blazed by other patriotic soldiers before you

It is sad that war, this mega-crime

Uses up our sons and daughters, not returning more than a few

So many reach Heaven instead of home

Where inconsolable loved ones grieve

And some come home to relive the hell

Ever more for treatment to
receive

Once bright minds are compromised

Once healthy bodies are broken

And leaders never come to realize

War is a beast that should not be woken

Pray for peace my fellow man

But peace is yet to be

Because tyrants do just what they can

So others won't be free

On this day we thank those who fought

And remember sadly those who died

Our veterans skills to fight were taught

And they were born with civic pride
