Don’t forget the vet
To the editor:
When you travel through this land,
And see the wonders of the nation,
Whether it be man or woman,
If you want to know who made the stand,
Don’t forget the vet.
When see in other nations,
People put in prison for their beliefs,
Sometimes even put to death,
And you know that you are free,
Don’t forget the vet.
When you look back at all the wars,
And the many that have died,
When you hear a child’s laughter,
And you see the eagle soar,
Don’t forget the vet.
When you see brave young people fight,
And our country is put to the test,
You can pick our leaders, good ro bad,
And you know it’s safe to sleep at night,
Don’t forget the vet.
Now please remember Veterans Day,
And the price that was paid,
Remember those who have already fallen,
And keep in your prayers those of today.
And …. Don’t forget the vet.
