Veteran's Day!

Heroes

By Jared Jenkins

In war, there are lives risked and lives taken

Men and women giving their best to defend what they love

They defend their country

Their honor

Their people
Some call them soldiers

Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us

They have lived through hell and fought with honor

Many have killed

And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul

For every soul, there is a life

For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance

For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle

Some, memories of defeat

Some, memories of victory

Our veterans were more than soldiers

They were, and still are heroes




Because of You, Unknown Soldier

By Courtney Tanabe

Because of you, I am here

Because of you, I am able to live freely
Yet I do not know you

And I have not done anything for you

But there you stand, ready to fight

And there you are prepared to die

For me
You've fought before

And you'll fight again

For someone you don't know
So thank you Unknown Soldier

Fighting for me
I'm here because of you

And I owe my future to you


God Bless All of The Men & Woman of the Armed Forces who have given up their freedom for ours!
