Veteran’s Day

  by Roger W Hancock  

We honor you, who fought for us,

for country’s sake of freedom’s plight.

You kept the greatest country great,

by sacrifice of you who served.  

Honor to military, soldiers served.

There seems no risk in peace to serve.

When war breaks the silent peace,

no peace when security cease.  

Sacrifice of civilian life,

careers succumb to enlist, or draft.

Families wait in fear, in prayer,

for loved ones return alive, not dead.  

Returned Heroes and those deceased,

we honor, thank, though insufficient.

Parades, programs, our pride convey,

We honor you on Veteran’s Day
