Barry Jablonski - Veteran’s Day (revised)

We pay respect on Veteran’s Day
To Vets that answered the call
They fought our country’s wars
And many gave it their all….

You see their pressed uniforms
Those old Vets wear with pride
But if you look into their faces
You’ll see tears they can’t hide

Veterans who gave us so much
And asked for so little back…
Parades & speeches once a year
Their names on a bronzed plaque

They are our sons & daughters
Our brothers and fathers too..
And when they’re called to fight
They bleed Red, White, and Blue

Our Veterans shaped the world
And they fought for our liberty….
I ask you to honor their memory
The veterans that keep us free! !
