Veteran

Veteran we left the comfort of home relied on the eyes of the drone repelled the hate of your enemy and the harsh words that were said to me you will always have scares when you fall that hard it is what we do with the healing to take this life and its beginning from the debit of our oath civilian or soldier we owe them both we Honor the Veteran today remember and thank them because no one knows the miles we put on our boots and the souls that pounded ground, air and sea so don’t take for granted the freedoms we breathe for every breath was the last for the brave

Gregory, we do not honor veterans as we should. Just look at all the poetry here. We are selfish or maybe never learned that freedom is not free. Anymore than a free lunch! Thank you for telling it like it is. I have no idea what it's like to be in a war. And thankful for writing such a great, poem with a purpose. Wonder how many will include veterans as part of their Thanksgiving prayers, Panagiota
