Thank You

For Veterans Day

For some it was the dark of night

For others the first light of dawn

For some soil of a foreign land

For others support at home.

Innocence and breath were left behind

In the hell of death and fear.

It is not war we glorify 

But those who faced the beast.

Those who fought

Those who died 

Those who wept 

Those in whom the nightmares rage

With humble hearts

With grateful lives

Today and always 

Thank you

Thank you 

Thank you.
