Military Appreciation Night

A once-in-a-year special night
To remember. It isn't just about 
The free "thank you" meal,
It's about reconnecting 
With a large community of veterans.
How often does that happen?
It's an absolute delight 
Being in the company of 
Truly extraordinary 
Men and women worthy of respect.
I love making the rounds
Saying hello to some people 
I haven't seen in a year;
Exchanging fond memories 
And lots of laughs.
