1:04:24 poem for veterans
We want to thank you for all the things you do-for all your sacrifices and all that you go through.
For wanting to serve others, for giving all your best-for showing such commitment no matter what the test.
For always showing courage and never being weak-showing strength in troubled times when freedom is what we seek.
For being an inspiration no matter where you trod-for striving to keep this nation one nation under God.
