VETERANS
When we gather around our flag,
our heart beneath our hand.
A prayer should be on our lips
for the veterans who took a stand.
On the ramparts of Fort McHenry,
the bloody battlefields of ol' Bull Run ,
atop of San Juan Hill ,
the muddy trenches of WWI.
They stood on the decks of destroyers,
hunting the U - Boats down.
The wards of a dim lit hospital
where weary nurses are found.
They rushed the beaches of Normandy,
flew bombers over Japan
defended South
Korea
walked the jungles of Viet Nam
They were forced to crouch in cages,
their hands were bound with rope,
still they honored God and Country,
and filled our hearts with hope.
They scorched across the desert sands,
in Black Hawks on patrol.
They served this Nation proudly,
on the doomed USS COLE.
Our freedom is not our birthright,
and courage knows no gender.
OUR FREEDOM IS BOUGHT BY VETERANS,
WHO STAND INSTEAD OF SURRENDER!
