Poem Artwork


You did what your country asked of you,
You volunteered to defend our shores,
You left behind friends and family...
What more could we want?  What more?  What more?

You journeyed to dangerous places,
Not knowing if you would go to war,
If you were frightened, you didn't show it...
What more could we ask?  What more?  What more?

Some of you paid the ultimate price,
A sacrifice we didn't ask for,
Your names are on memorial walls...
What could we have done?  What more?  What more?

Some of you returned to no parades,
Sick in body, your needs are ignored,
Shame on our Nation for forgetting you!!
What more can we do?  What more?  What more?

THANK OUR VETERANS.  YOU ARE FREE TODAY BECAUSE OF THEM.

EVERY DAY IS MEMORIAL DAY.  I HONOR YOU.

(C) Copy written, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Thak you, Sweet Karla - for your words and heart strings - for men and women who learned the very hard way - to love this country deeply for life - as they would their family members. Our Nation is precious and no less valuable than family. From a veteran who lost many friends in the various services - around the world, Thank You! - Bill

This is powerful and would make a great patriotic song. Well done!

Our veterans, who served their Nation unselfishly, are forgotten until a holiday such as Memorial Day, July 4th, or Veterans Day comes around. Then we remember for a day or two...then it's back to normal. Shame!

I'd like to thank YOU for your service and helping to ensure our freedoms. *SALUTE*

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