A New Day (veterans Day)

A New Day This Veterans Day is different And our leadership is new Let’s hope things will get better And they do what they should do. Maybe next year at this time Troops will be home or on their way Wouldn’t that be just great For a really different Veterans Day? We have lost so many people Some will suffer wounds for life With each and every Hero changed By wartime’s pain and strife. They have served without complaint Some two times and some three Much more than we should expect From those who protect our Liberty. Our Troops do what they’ve always done When our Nation has a need To protect our Country’s shores Or some foreign one, needs freed. Most everyone knows someone Or has a loved one who was lost And each of us must realize That our Freedom has great cost.. Our Veterans Day is very special A day to thank that special soul Who will serve and fight and die for us With Freedom’s Security their goal. The next time you see a Uniform Just take a moment to say, “Thanks!” For our Country would be nothing Without those Military Ranks. So on this day, Two thousand six As we Honor those who Served Let us all strive to be a Nation Where their sacrifice is deserved. Del “Abe” Jones 11.10.06
