Veteran
I was a proud veteran
That served my country well
To those that would listen
I had many stories to tell.
We fought for America’s freedom
In far away places on foreign land.
Whenever the battle for democracy raged,
America’s finest made a stand.
Lynne Cary, 2004
We fought for your future
And the right to remain free.
For we saw what freedom meant
To those not blessed with Liberty.
For you and yours
We would gladly have given our life.
We faced the fears and perils of battle
We braved endless turmoil and strife.
Please remember us veterans
And the sacrifices we made for you
Please share the blessings of freedom
Proudly wave the red, white and blue.
