USA It's The Veteran  ღ KKD ღ

 

 

 


It's The Veteran



As this song states
In the military I have not served
except to keep a home for one who did
And for those highest respect is deserved
 


It is the Veteran
whenever our colors are shown
the hand covered heart
to them is naturally known
 


It's the Veteran if called upon today
would take up arms
to keep this country
free from harm
 


It's the Veteran standing tall and proud
Not just because of their training
but for the pride in what they did
and love of America forever reigning
 


Its the Veteran that gave us our freedom
for some the price was ultimate
but do it again
they all would in a heart beat
 


Its the Veteran we honor this day
for all their courageous deeds
but it is our every day support
our past and present Military needs

It's the Veteran

I remember this Donna.......I was always prouod to be a serviceman. If I ever get to retire, I'd like to be one of the guys at the airport that welcomes home the Vets from Iraq, etc......they deserve a welcome, just as the Vets of Viet Nam

Donna this is such a touching poem, honoring our fighting men and woman, the Veterans that returned and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
The graphics and music are heartfelt.
