Count, cadence, count
On me.
Let’s roll!
My back
Your six
Let’s celebrate Veteran’s Day TODAY!

Veterans’ Day’s not just a ‘day’
To show up, respects to pay.
Men who died hand down to us
Traditions in which we trust.

November
11th
in France
We win!
1919. We win! We win!

Russians fled — 1916
Winter’s ice: revolution’s dream.
Losing 2 ½ million men.
Brest Litovsk Treaty: their end.

Treaty of Versailles: one nine (19)
“War to end all wars,” The End.
Mustard gas and trench warfare:
60 million lives “over there”.

“Armistice Day’s” “solemn pride
…heroism of those who died.”
So did Woodrow Wilson say
11/11. Parades. Hooray!

Congress in 19 two one
‘stablished Unknown Soldier’s Tomb
In two two (’22) came th’holiday
Veterans’ service marked today.

Duty.
Honor.
Country.
We’re still ‘merica’s best and brightest!

Thank each of you for your wonderful posts this morning. I always get teary on this day. I’m so glad to honor and remember all the men and women who fought and died to keep this country free. We owe them all so much!

Veterans Day

Our country called, they answered,
They risked their lives, their all.
They fought on land, sea, and air,
They saw their buddies fall.
Yet on they fought and they prevailed,
We owe our gratitude.
So give thumbs up, to them, the Vets,
God grant them solitude.
We can’t repay all that they gave,
So show them that you care.
They fought for us, to all be free,
Be thankful they were there.

"Duty.

I think I should have slipped in something before ‘country’ to make the cadence count correct:

Duty.
Honor.
Country.
ON ME!!!!
We’re still ‘merica’s best and brightest!
