A VETERANS DAY Salute - 2009

One day doesn't seem like enough to honor all those who have served and continue to serve our great nation.

A noncom or an officer,
All of them have their jobs to do;
Whether state side or over seas,
The right to live free they give to you.

Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines,
All of these branches give their best;
The Coast Guard, protecting our shores,
True human courage put to test.

To all of you serving today,
Giving freedom a chance to start;
Your sacrifice won't be in vain,
When freedom's felt in a child's heart.

Fellow veterans, I salute you,
By your side I was so proud to be;
Gladly we served the Stars and the Stripes,
Ready to die for sweet Liberty.

Enjoy this special holiday,
Just don't forget why it is there;
Celebrate the freedoms you have,
And, thank God, our veterans cared.

A VERY WELL WRITTEN TRIBUTE TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SAID 'YES' TO A PERILOUS CALL. BUT NOW, SADLY, MANY ARE BEING OVERLOOKED AND GROSSLY MISTREATED IN THE WORK PLACE. A NATION FORGETS...QUICKLY. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
