Veterans Day 2009

Veterans Day 2009 Another Veterans Day upon us And as usual, it’s the same We have thousands in harm’s way In wartime’s, deadly, game. More than five thousand killed And there seems, no end in sight As we spend more lives and dollars More and more ask, “Is it right?” But, there’s one thing is for certain And, no matter how you may feel We must Honor those who Serve us Because, they are, “the real deal!” They are those Men and Women From, every corner of our Land Who will Serve and fight and die Although, not the life they’d planned. But like, those millions before them Who all Swore an Oath to Protect The Constitution and our Freedoms All of them deserve, our Respect. Whether you do/don’t support the wars Or what, your political persuasion We must stand by these Men and Women Who will stand tall and Serve our Nation. So, if you should know a Veteran Shake their hand and tell them. “Thanks!” Along with all those wearing Uniforms In all our Country’s, Military Ranks. And, let’s not forget the Families With all those Stars of Blue and Gold With recollections of those Heroes And, all those stories, yet to be told. Del “Abe” Jones 11.10.2009
