Members wmwise Posted May 25, 2009 Members Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thank You Veterans Thank you veterans of the Red, White, and Blue,our heroes who defend America,We proudly salute you! You are the rock and foundation,the reason America is a proud and free nation. Thank you Veterans... For answering your country's call,America owes you,for your gift of freedom to us all. Thank you Veterans... For putting your life on hold,so another can be born,and we have a chance to grow old. Thank you Veterans... For sacrificing your life to guarantee,our freedoms so that we can live in liberty. You are America's voice,because of you we have the option,to make a choice. Thank you Veterans... For being brave and taking a stand,keeping us safe here on our home land. You make the difference for the world to see,that you paid the price,For our freedom that isn't free. Thank you Veterans... For all you've done,your duty, honor and commitment,is how freedom is won. You are the proud, the brave and the few,not just today but everyday,America salutes you!

Yes it Memorial Day, time to give thanks to those that have paid for our freedom with there lives. But are they not called Veterans also?? I posted the poem to give thanks to THEM and ALL Veterans . There are alot of Veterans still with us that have been wounded (me included) keeping our great country safe. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no flag waver but I don't mean to diminish in any way the dues paid by you or any past and present members of our armed forces. Personally, I don't distinguish between Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andy thompson Posted May 25, 2009 Members Share Posted May 25, 2009 Tried googling to come up with the fourth poet I could remember with no success, (found out there are over twenty). Cant imagine the horrors of war. Dont agree with having inquests over conduct in theatre. God I could talk about this for hours but with respect I think Im in the wrong place to do so. Everything I try to write comes out Political so...thanks for the liberty ships ...Christ....too massive a subject over the years glad your safe. Are you going to set it to music ?.
