To those who have served: thank you.
To those who are serving: thank you.
To those who will serve: thank you.


Poem Artwork


They answer the call, or volunteer,
those who don the nation's uniforms,
whether they want to or not.  They serve,

despite differences, united
as a team, doing what they must for
freedom's sake.  They give up their lives at

home and sometimes on the battlefield,
sacrifices, all.  They are our men,
our women; our husbands, wives; our sons,

daughters; brothers, sisters; our cousins,
nieces, nephews; sometimes, they're unknown:
but they do not serve in vain.  Give them

the honor they deserve:  thank a Vet.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/7)

And you, as a Veteran deserve not only a thank you but with a tight hug to tell you we are all there, around; that if they never said thank you we never stopped saying it.

As I've always said: "Do the best thing yet: thank a vet". And I do, too. I live with one. YOU. Thank YOU for YOUR service.

I'm the daughter/sister/cousin/niece of Veterans. I'd better thank 'em! LOL Beautiful reminder of why we ALL should be grateful: if it were not for our Veterans, we would not HAVE the freedoms we enjoy!

Very well penned, Veteran; brava! *SALUTE*

(((HUGS))) and much love, your (grateful) twin sister, Karen Lynn. :D XOXOXOXOXOXO
