Veteran's Honor

 

They all decided in their hearts

To serve their country to the end.

All seemed to go as they had planned

But life would come around the bend.

The first ones served with Washington

And gave a life to our great land.

Everything was on the line

The time had come to take a stand.

The civil war brought many tears

As brothers fought against their kin.

There were no winners in this war

But freedom could now return again.

The war to end all other wars

Was never farther from the truth.

Many men would not return

Lives cut short while in their youth.

Many wars have come and gone

It seems as though peace can’t be found.

Many still want to serve their land

That is their call and they are bound.

Filled with pride and dignity

All gave some and some gave all.

Reach to to them and show them love

They need to know they are not small.

Honor’s what they all deserve

A token of their sacrifice.

Never can they be repaid

For they all paid a hefty price!
