To all our Veterans

My sister is a Veteran and so I chose to write about Veterans Day because it has much more meaning this year.


Veterans Day, November 11th, 2004


 

 You have traveled far & wide,
or maybe just taking over another’s
position here in the USA while they
are in IRAQ.

Either way, this country, the USA,
thanks you soooooo very much for your bravery and soul courage fighting spirit!

 

Some of you shall pay the ultimate sacrifice.
Seeing a leg get blown across a field is enough to cause 
Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder!(PTSD)



Let us make society realize we must all change to accommodate you when you return.
We must grow.
We must learn again.

This is a worthy salute to all those who have been in uniform. Our men and women in the military have volunteered (and I stress volunteered) to protect our rights and freedom and that in itself is worthy of accolades.

Today I met an Iraqi citizen who now makes here his home. His simple words of "God bless merica my home now." What more can one say to that. Indeed he is free because of our troops. By the way he kissed the flag and I hugged him.

There should be nothing more precious to a country than her Veterans and those she lost in defense of her freedom. Thank you for this write, Becca. I come from a military family, so I truly appreciate your words.
Take care,
Sherry
