HAPPY VETERAN’S DAY!!

Veterans Day

By Taylor Weinman

Representing the red white and blue

The colors of our flag stand out proud and true.

The white stars on blue background with red and white stripes

Remind me of these veterans, who all risked their lives.

Just so the people of the U.S. could all live in peace and be free.

These are the heroes that represent you and me.

They stood up strongly, untied as one,

And kept up the fighting until they were done.

And although some have fallen, and lost their lives in war,

We pray for each one of them.

And now that their souls live on forever more,

Above in God’s hands. They watch over our nation,

And give us strength to triumph over others with strong anticipation.

So every year, when this day comes by,

Think of all the veterans that while fighting, had to die.

And remember that they were people

With fire and passion embedded inside.

They die for this country, So remember and honor them with pride.

I wanted to post this in remembrance of all the soldiers who gave their lives for all of us. Also in remembrance of my grandfather and my hubs’ grandfather.

I won't forget about all the soldiers like my dad and step-father who are still among us and served their country – THANK YOU!!

Have a blessed day!

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY AMERICA!!

Hello Everyone,

Remember
by Brittany Vigoreaux

American soldiers sacrifice so much,
All for the freedom of our country.
Leaving their families and heading off to war,
Not knowing what the future holds.

Working day and night
Determined to stay strong.
Watching friends be killed every day
Letters from home inspiring them to keep fighting

So little is given to them
Although there is little to do,
For those who have died in war
We can still remember

Remember all the men who have died.
Remember all the battles fought
Remember all the tears families cried
Remember it was freedom the soldiers brought

To this very day soldiers are under-appreciated
Veterans Day is the day
For the dead, living, and fighting soldiers
To be remembered

I would just like to thank all the soldiers and their families that are fighting for our country today and in the past. On a more personal note I'd like to pay my respects to my great grandfather, William Bibby, my grandfather, Leldon H. Bibby for their services. I miss you and am honored that you were my grandfathers. To my step-dad Manuel Mendibles for his service. To my father Alfredo G. Perez for his service. I am proud of both of you for your service to our country.

Let's all say a prayer for the safe return of our soldiers and for their families left at home.

We honor you!

Have a blessed day!
