I don't know if I could go through,
what they went through,
during their time,
in war.

They fought to protect our freedom we enjoy today,
even if that meant they were on the front,
right in the line of fire,
where some died.

Why do many people not know what today is,
I find that rather disrespectful,
they fought for our future,
and we don't care.

What on earth is wrong with some young people today,
today is a day to remember what happened,
and what others did for us, this country,
when they had their own lives to live.

Many gave up chances to be husbands, fathers, and grandfathers,
they gave up their normal lives when they went to war,
and when they came back from war,
they didn't come back whole.

Just for anyone who truly cares about our Veterans,
please at anytime you see someone who served,
show them your appreciation and say,
"Thank you."
