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!

[Leg Olam]

Back to you!

It is the Soldier

It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer, Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,

And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Don’t forget the children, they had it just as bad as wives or husband’s did, depending which did the Service.
