Veterans From Groups That Vary

This is a poem I just wrote for Veterans Day Meeting to be held at
RiverSea Clubhouse in Bolivia, NC on November 8th, 2014 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
