Veteran's Day

I took the kids to the Orting Soldier's Home for their Veteran's Day program yesterday. It was a beautiful program and brought tears to our eyes. Here is a poem I found that I really liked.

Veteran's Day
by Cheryl Dyson

On Veteran's Day we honor all
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old,
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We're proud of all the soldiers who
Kept thinking of red, white, and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights,
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
We thank ALL veterans just the same.
