Veterans Day - a Retourne

We celebrate our veterans, on November the eleventh. In honor of their great service, we show our appreciation. On November the eleventh, a memorial will be held at Arlington, to place a wreath, to honor our fallen heroes. In honor of their great service, flags will fly and anthems will play. Patriotism rules the day, to laud the bravest of the brave. We show our appreciation, for the sacrifices they made, with free restaurant meals for Vets, and numerous hometown parades. 11/3/15 For Debbie Guzzi's Holiday Retourne contest

Every day we live free, no matter what the country we come from, we owe to the sacrifices of those who have fought and fallen for us! Yes, we should honor them that is the least we could do! An appropriate poem for the occasion, dear Kim, very well developed. I have visited Arlington twice and stood before Kennedy's grave. Good luck in the contest!
