Notes About The Poem

Veterans

Let’s be open to understand
                                      And give them a helping hand
                                           Our victorious warriors
                                                  Super Hero’s
                                         Knights in shinning armor
                                    Their individual acts of heroism
                    For they give us a living place of freedom and equality
                              Let’s open our arms and embrace them
                                     Let’s be open to understand
                                   And give them a helping hand

Thank you Leonora, for sharing. Your grandpa should be honored as a hero. Besides my husband in the Navy for 20 years, I also had one son in the navy in Desert Storm , and another son in the air force making bombs in Wash. Blessings and Merry Christmas dear friend

Hear, Hear, Hear!!! Yes, my dear friend, Eve, you are so right! Unfortunately people ask everything from our warriors their life included but unwilling are they to give something back! A seven!

Thank you, Sir, for the 7. People need to be more sensitive to other needs than for themselves. Blessings and Merry Christmas dear friend

When ever I see or meet a Vet, the first thing I do is walk up to him and say "Thank-you Sir" Its amazing how such a tiny gesture is really appreciated!!

They do, my husband fought in the Vietnam war, so his memories of how he was treated here in the states were very sad. The future brings hope. Thank you, Arthur, for being the angel God has given them. Blessings to you sir
