Veterans Day
This day is to remember our men in uniform that gave,
The ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for those they could save.
Men from everywhere, brought together for good and right.
To stand face to face with the enemy, expected to fight.
How did these men find the courage to walk into war?
Some may not have known what they were fighting for.
They did what their country asked them to do.
They were committed to see their daunting task through.
The pride of being an American, defending their belief.
Fighting for the freedom of others, to bring denied relief.
Today, a different attitude prevails, that no one need answer the call.
If no one had answered, would there be a United States of America at all?
