VETERANS’ DAY

Veterans serve the country they love
No matter what the deed
Veterans’ families serve the veterans
No matter what the need

The service is demanding
On body and soul
Time away from their loved ones
Leaves them void and vulnerable

Families serve to support them
They feel near when they’re not
Without family love and sacrifice
Veterans feel alone a lot

It takes a team to win the battle
Whether on the ground, air, or under sail
Veterans must be focused without distraction
Families make it possible for them to prevail

Thank the veterans who served
For their sacrifice and mission
Thank the family who served also
They sacrificed right along with them
