Thank You to Our Veterans

I am not a poet, so keep this in mind... I am doing my best to thank the veterans for their service.

For This I Thank You...



Crossing sands, crossing time;
Crossing borders, lives on the line;
Weighted minds, weighted packs;
Heavy responsibilities on your backs;
Long day with little pay; protecting the world and the American way;
Missing family, missing friends;
Chasing the warmongers to the very ends;
Come home to us, safe, come home to us sound;
For those who don’t, give you sacred ground;
Bless your heart, bless your mind;
Bless your motto: No one left behind;
Thank you for your service and sacrifice;
To take our country’s enemies and put them on ice!


Please give to the Paralyzed Veterans of America:
