Honoring Veterans POTD
11/10/2023
I have never had to give up my home,my town, my family in any war.
That was done for me, by willing, brave heroes, who have gone afar!
Courageous women and men, who loved mankind.
They left pets, beloved family and homes behind!.
They knew that America had to protect a flag of red, white and blue.
No matter what country, you are now in, they died for you and your
country, too!
Herr Hitler might have become the ruler of all free countries as well.
Heroes were buried in your country, so peaceful now, in green fields
with Sunday bells.
Heroes such as these are why religion and speech are so marvelously free.
Don’t let a single person nor power group, rob thee of these.
Enemies start worldwide, with controls, they rule..don’t need guns!
Allowing lies, murder and a brave, crooked world to have its evil ryn.
So don’t let military service and young deaths disappear in vain.
They lie in simple, quiet graves, in moonlit cemeteries, in the crying rain..
