~A Time To Remember~

It is time to once again remember all that you gave.
Some gave their precious blood to keep us free.
Now they lie still and silent in their grave
But their actions spoke in their sacrifice to keep us free.



Let us never forget those who returned missing a part.
Their life will never be the same
As they struggle to keep hope in their heart.
Though you will never have fame, I pay tribute in your name.



Many were called to put their life on the line.
Some paid the ultimate price.
Others returned to their loved ones just fine.
I pay tribute for your sacrifice.



Veterans Day is a special day set aside
To honor those who served to keep our country free.
You served with dignity and pride.
I thank you for the part you played to keep me free.
