My Veteran's Day Tribute

To the servicemen who paid with their life to ensure our freedom again and to live without strife. Your sacrifice I commemorate in my humble way and your memory I celebrate on this Veteran’s Day.

John, thank you for your great tribute to Veterans. Though it may be seen by some as being presumptuous on my part, I posted a list of poems I have written over the years in the hopes that they will be read by many and seen for what they were intended. I sent the list in deep humility and not in pride. Veterans are the reason we enjoy our freedom.

As a retired veteran whose father died in an accident on top of the Aircraft Carrier Intrepid, I truly appreciate your poem.
