Please take a moment some time today to remember the veterans! The veteran's in my family were my grandfather-NAVY, my Uncle Bill-AIR FORCE, my Uncle John-ARMY and POW of the Korean War. I will be thinking of them today. Also thank you to all the service men and women who are fighting for our country today and who have fought for this country in the past! God Bless America!!
I found this poem online and would like to share it with you:
Heroes
By Jared Jenkins
In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people
Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes
I appreciate the service of your grandfather and uncles, Sherri.
