Poem Artwork

Know this:  your service
was not in vain.

I'm free today because
of you.

You are my heroes,
those who serve(d):

we owe you more
than words can say.

A salute
A hug
A thank you

is not enough.
I want to do more, but
it's the best I can do.

And remember.
Not just today or only
when convenient.

Every day is Veteran's
and Memorial Day to me.
I will not forget.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (11/11)

Many hugs and an ocean of thanks to you and your fellow service men and women. Without your strength we would not have this country to call "the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

God bless you. Kathy

No poems about our veterans for me today. I support them completely as anyone who knows me understands. I just hate to be told what to write and what to think on certain days. My patriotic heart bears strong.

We can't forget Karla, for if we do, so does everyone else. They bled and died for our rights to say and do as we do.
Keep writing!
