Two Veterans

   My father, a WW2 vet
   My mother too
     On Veterans Day they first met

   They got married on Vets Day too 
     ~ I hope some day to fill their shoes

Hi Gershon, love this short and fine poem. My deepest respect to your parents. Many long and happy marriages began just before or during WW II. Several older couples at the church I used to go to got married during WW II. God's blessings to you & yours. ~
