Veterans Day
By Franklin Price
11/11/2021
Today's the day we honor
All the veterans to the last
Those who are still with us
And those already passed
To those who gave a little
To protect us from the fall
To volunteers and draftees
Who protected one and all
Not all of them went off to war
But swore an oath that if they did
They would give their lives for country
They're not the ones who ran and hid
Many lost their lives while serving
Many went and served their time
Some think to wear a uniform
Is to kill, committing crime.
Those of you, who think that way,
Should leave the grand old USA
The veterans who protected you
Are why the country's here today.
I'm proud I am a veteran
Honoring both lad and lass
To the vets from all the services
I salute and raise my glass
