For the flag that we fly of the red, white, and blue Our Veterans fought willingly for me and for you They've fought many wars at sea and on land For all of our country, our Veterans took a stand We tend to forget the sacrifices they've made Though many came home still some had to stay They were Prisoners Of War, some were killed or injured Many the hardships those have endured So friends I humbly ask, as to God thanks we give For our health and our freedom in this land where we live Let's all bring a smile to the Veterans we meet And say a simple "Thank You" to them, as their faces we greet HAPPY VETERANS DAY AND THANK YOU [This message has been edited by garysgirl (11-11-2002 04:14 AM).] |

Being the third generation of my family to serve in the military I was lifted by this poem. In my own way I thanked the veterans by joining the military myself. Thanks for the read. |

I hope you don't mind, but I copied and sent this out to my Father who is a Vietnam Vet. and my Grandfather who is a WW2 Vet. I know that it means alot to them when Americans like you take the time to remember and appreciate all they have done for us. I too send out special thanks to ALL Veterans on this day (although not quite as eloquently as you). And a very special prayer to all the current military (my brother-in-law included) who are meeting the current threats to our great nation and keeping us all safe. God Bless and Keep You All Amen. |

Thank you, Tammy. I didn't get to see my Dad today, but I'm going to spend the day with my parents on Wednesday, so I'm taking a copy of this poem, along with everyone's replies, so that he can see how thankful people really are. It's a very big compliment to me for you to want to give a copy to your Father and Grandfather. I hope that it will make them feel good. I also appreciate all the men and women who are serving in the military now and are defending our country. I have many friends and relatives in the military. I truly pray God's blessings and protection over all of our military. Thank you, Tammy. "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel...I appreciate what you have written, and I know my father would appreciate it as well. I told him thank you from those of us who were not in that one great war... And I say you are most welcome...from those of us who served our country in later years. Thank You Ethel |
