Read this at dedication of Ellis County Veterans Memorial in Waxahachie, Texas where two of my poems are etched in the granite.What an honor for me. NOVEMBER 11TH There are so many little towns That make up this great nation And the heroes from them Boggle the imagination Those who answer the call In peace and wartime’s strife Who give of themselves So, we can live this life Some go and fight those wars Some die, some hurt, survive But all that they believe in Is what keeps freedom alive It’s all those little towns And people who live there Who stand and fight for freedom For people, everywhere Somebody’s dad or brother Husband, daughter or son Mother, sister, cousins We all, know someone Who, when freedom was threatened Here at home, around the world Were determined to insure Freedoms flag remained unfurled They believe and fight for The things this world needs They might not always win But they’ll have planted the seeds In time of peace or conflict There’s always a price to pay And today, we pay them tribute On this Veterans Day Del "Abe" Jones |
