Laura Anne - Veterans Day

To All Our Service Men and Women

My heart and appreciation goes out to all our men and women
To those who have served and to those who still are today

In peace and in war
You are there, protecting and defending our country, our freedom, our honor
Some call them soldiers, I call them heroes

Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor

For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life

For those who have died, we show tremendous gratitude
And hold you forever in our memory

For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some memories are of defeat and some of victory

Our veterans are more than soldiers
They were and always will be our heroes

Laura Anne
