Veterans

This is a poem I just wrote for Veterans Day Meeting to be held at RiverSea Clubhouse in Bolivia, NC on November 8th from two to three-thirty. Veterans from Groups That Vary Being a Veteran is what we desired, From day we entered until retired; For missions us they did select From all fear and enemies to protect. Even if in uniform or civilian clothes Veterans we are and everyone knows Perfect posture with shoulders drawn back To dusk from new dawn's early crack. Example for others have tried to set Outside when dry or might be wet At funeral of friend who was a comrade Which was attended by mom and dad. Bugle starts to sound TAPS in the air For concerned veterans who always do care, While here today when we all now meet; America, no one will be able to defeat. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran
