They Call Him a Veteran
They Call Him a Veteran

They call him a veteran.
What a noble name!
He wears it proudly
Though not seeking fame.
He showed up when called
And proudly did his part.
When his buddy fell,
It broke his heart.
He served in places near and far
And survived a “hell” he knows too well.
Images will remain forever,
Most of which he will never tell.
So as you complain
In your life of ease,
Remember those who served
If you please!!
