Poem

The event was an annual affair,
and all the town would be there
determined that no one shall dissuade,
The old soldier went to the fourth of July parade

He dressed in his old military uniform
frayed, tattered and  worn
on his chest he wore the Bronze and Silver Stars
awarded for heroism in the Vietnam and Korean Wars

The cheering crowd lined the sidewalk
the throng stretching from block to block
He walked with dignity and grace
Pride and Honor etched on his  wrinkled face

There among the cheering crowd
Cheering sounds deep and loud
There before him passed floats and bands
Beautiful young girls waving their hands

In the distant heard the American anthem began
to play and the old soldier proudly raised his hand
as best as he could with honor erectly stood
There among the crowd a portrait of all that's good

Then Old Glory came passing by
Tears slowly appeared in his eye
in remembrance of his dying friends;
brothers' in arms until eternity ends

Not for adulation or applause
Freedom, Freedom! A worthy  cause
Freedom for our democracy
And to ensure a free Society.
