i am a veteran

i may not have fought in any world war
my nation's call i didn't ignore
see, i answered when they called out my name
i am a veteran...just the same

i may not have been on a battlefield
but to enemies i would not yield
i may not have travelled, or seen the world
but pride in my nation's been unfurled

given the chance, i would do it again
to protect our land, i will defend
i believe in my nation, and my flag
and to me it ain't no filthy rag
---------------------------------------------------------------
*SALUTE* to our Veterans

*Thank you*

And we respectfully remember those
who didn't make it home...thank you
for paying the ultimate price for
the freedom we enjoy today.

~~On Monday, May 26, 2003 (Memorial
Day), at 3:00 P.M., your time zone,
please take a moment to remember those
that died in the service of their
Nation. Say a prayer for their
families.

What better way to remember them?~~

And thank a Veteran that made it back home...

Let them know you appreciate what they
have done...

(((HUGS))) and love,

karla. :(
