I woke up to a wonderful surprise and am hoping some of my brothers got the same thing. So here's a little poem I wrote.
My ode to all of the veterans
the kids from class
who were young and restless
we needed a reason
to stand up and fight
so we did it for you
a country and its people
we love just alike
there was no guarantee
we would come back alive
but you don't see that fear
when you look in our eyes
its sad but true
we all didn't return
we carry around memories
that would make your stomach
just turn
but we do like to hear the words
man I just thank you
I'll be the first one to say it
just so you know
we really it embrace it
so if you know a veteran
you need to thank them today
buy them a beer or give them a bj
if you can't find
the right words to say
we know that its hard
but today is our day
I want to say thank you
to every shipmate I have
every sailor
every airmen
every army man
I know
and I toast the marines
who were always ready to go
people call us heroes
but I call them my brothers
all of us young
when we cried
and said good bye to our mothers
other family and friends
and all of our lovers
to join one mission
and protect one another
we've all said an oath
that many will say
and I'm proud of everyone
who still protects us today
my wish is sent
I want to say thanks
lets all have a happy
veterans day
pass this along
if you know someone who served
a thanks is just a fraction
of what they truly deserve
with love
