The Constitution of the United States
of America,
Is what I believe in!
Black, red or white doesn't matter,
about the color of your skin.
Death knows not color.
With God and your country you defend,
If on God you totally depend?
Thank you defend America anyway,
no matter what the world or others say.
It was you who saved our country,
It was you who led the way,
Yes, we dispelled the darkness,
brought light to another day!
Showed peace is always possible,
just find a better way.
The Air Force protect the skies.
Our Navy protect the worlds seas,
The Marines protect our lands.
The Army whatever the need may be,
paratroopers who fight to keep us free!
And the U.S. Coast Guard,
guarding our mainland America's back,
from inland rebels and the enemy,
poised for any attack!
Many of our lives are shattered,
form the perils of war and harm,
all of veterans stayed the course,
and answered the worlds alarm!
Many of us have died and some alive,
to America we gave our best!
We thank God and America for you,
When no other could pass the test!

After war is the time to think peace. Alas, history doesn't show there is much progress for lasting peace. I loved your poem, it made me feel proud . . .
