Default Veterans

sat. is verterans day in the u s. this is for them, and any other vets that fought for their country.

Veterans

They served our country well
In peril for their life,
And fought those battles hard,
Ignoring fear and strife.

Some would never come back,
Grieving many a heart,
Giving their all for us,
The end, never to start.

Some came, bodies broken,
Never the same again.
How thankful we should be
They served their country then.

Some exposed to chemicals,
Some to atrocities--
Worse than death in some ways,
Bearing scars we cannot see.

These lives changed forever
To guarantee ours free.
Come, let us honor them
For all the world to see.

Deserving so much more
Than we can now repay
Let’s show them our respect,
And lift them when we pray.

God Bless the Vets that fought
With peace and happiness.
We salute your valor,
Service, and selflessness!
