Duty Does Call

Duty Does Call Veterans are people who represent us all As each and every day of duty does call Fighting for freedom defending out land Ensuring all is properly planned and manned. They lean against their rifles as they pray Then under a tank or vehicle sleep or lay Adequately serving to cover their head And continually being cold in their bed. Cries of tears come to each of their eyes An anguished felling makes them realize War has been hell and will never forget And out all their emotions they now let. Back home, people for them will be waiting While they still have been contemplating Should they reenlist or go back to school All of their resources together must pool. Military experience makes minds expand Still worry who can give them a hand After back to civilian life they have been Who would want to do it all over again? James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran
