Eric Nolan Poet Free verse

To My Fellow Veterans

In the military 
Some you remember 
Some you forget 
But none more loyal 
Than a fellow vet 
To all the soldiers 
Of future, present, and past 
When courage reigned
And fear stood fast 
The honor we display 
And the hell that we give 
Allow us our freedoms 
And rights to live 
To my fellow soldiers in uniform 
Valor and bravery are the norm 
It is to you I salute on this fine day
Your sacrifice on the battlefield 
Is why I pray 
For your safe return 
So I can simply say….
Thank you 

Eric (and sometimes not)
