~MAD WORLD~ A TRIBUTE

I decided to start a thread to honor our men and women whom are fighting to protect us. It is Veterans Day Wednesday and I though you could put your poems and prayers here to honor them.

American soldiers sacrifice so much,
All for the freedom of our country.

Leaving their families and heading off to war,
Not knowing what the future holds.

Working day and night
Determined to stay strong.

Watching friends be killed every day
Letters from home inspiring them to keep fighting.

So little is given to them
Although there is little to do,

For those who have died in war
We can still remember.

Remember all the men who have died.
Remember all the battles fought.

Remember all the tears families cried
Remember it was freedom the soldiers brought.

To this very day soldiers are under-appreciated.

Veterans Day is the day.

For the dead, living, and fighting soldiers.
~To be remembered~

Blessed Be

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....; ▶ Reply to This

Though far from nature's limits thrown,
We trust they find a happier land,
A brighter sunshine of their own.; ▶ Reply to This
