Last Solider To Die

Today we remember all the
brave men and women who
have died in wars.

What is so sad is
some one has to
become the last
solider to die.

In every war just
before they sign
the treaty to end
the war,

some poor solider
will be killed,
those people
we should also,

think about on
this special day,
which was started
on November 11, 1918,

the day they signed the
treaty to end the war
to end all wars,
but has since,

to honor all people
who have died in
all wars, lets
remember our,

brave soldiers who
have died, but also
the ones still serving
in the service now,

and to remember
all the soliders
who became the
last one to die.

A wonderful thing to remember our veterans today. Quite often people take this holiday for granted, as just a day off work, or a day off from school without thinking of the real meaning. A nice tribute, James. ~ Carrie
