I don't have the name of the person who wrote this poem, so unfortunately I can't give credit to him or her. However, someone sent it to me through an email and I thought it was great.
You gave for peace with courage
That families may be free
So children could grow strong
And safe they'd ever be.
In giving for the sake of peace
You may have suffered loss
Your body may still show its wounds
From taking up the cause.
May remembrance of your time away
Your sacrifice for peace
Spur us on to strive more strongly
For freedom, that there'll be release.
From causes that sent some away
To fight that we may freely live
With gratefulness we thank you, veterans
For all you gave and give!
**A special thank you to all the veterans - for the service you have given our country, and the freedoms that you have allowed. The men and women who have sacrificed, and continue to sacrifice for this country are heroes. Remember to say "thank you" the next time you see someone who served our country ... two little words mean a lot.
