Our Veterans

Our Veterans are only sent to defend
making sure our lives are in their hands.
With the absence of loved ones, they are
taught to love harder, and do not take 
things for granted. Just in case they
are sent to duty and do not return
from a day of hard work...

Our Veterans, some sent to work, 
get tortured by the enemy, which
is harder for him or her. Not only
within the team are crying but the
family who does not know where 
they are, are also crying and 
that is not surprising.

Our Veterans take courage to make
it out alive and for some people to 
deprive them of credit is in the wrong. 
But for them to survive, not only a man
or a woman is great Pride deserving a 
pat on the back. 

To save lives is to remain in mind, because
a retired Veteran could, one day, save your live.

Why thank you! :) Every veteran should deserve WAY more credit than they do. Thanks! :D
