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.

Curtis Moorman Date: 11/5/2018 3:58:00 PM 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. Login to Reply John Gondolf Date: 11/5/2018 6:30:00 PM Thank you, Curtis, I appreciate it. John
