Veterans Day

For many this day is simply another one free
Of school and work, you can be lazy
They figure it's just another holiday
A day where they can relax
But really, truly, its much more than that
On this day we remember those who fought
For us, our country and whoever they love
They shed blood and tears protecting us
Of their own free will, driven by pure courage
These people are heroes
They nearly gave up their lives
To serve their country
No matter if they died or survived
These soldiers of the red, white and blue
Their hearts are always strong and true
They should be honored always from day to day
But we made the current one our holiday
To show that we cared
Appreciated what they've done
And that for every soldier that comes home
It is another battle won
So think about this, boys and girls
Think about what they're doing for our world
It's Veterans Day, be proud <3
