Just Another Veterans Day

Just Another Veterans Day By Franklin Price 11/11/2015 Just another Veterans Day As one, I have something to say: We answered to the drum and fife, For a time, another kind of life. To march in step and learn to shoot, Follow orders or get the boot, Right in the butt; at least we thought Respect and discipline we were taught. Our drill instructor not our friend Yet one on whom we could depend Trained us well for what would come So far it was than started from Some did enlist. Some draft did call. Once in the same, yes, one and all No matter color, race or creed All were there to fill a need Some to combat would report Would give their all to hold the fort. Suffer wounds of body, mind, Will never leave that life behind. I wrote this poem to commemorate The Veterans that we celebrate And at it's end I have to say For us, it's never: “ Just another Veterans Day”
