Our Heros


A veteran is a hero What they have been through only they know. They have been through weather both cold and hot Some killed, wounded, or shot. Soldiers have been to Vietnam, Japan and Iraq Some never to come back. The ones that return may hurt inside, and out An everlasting image, no doubt. Mothers, fathers, husbands or wives They all go out and risk their lives. They stand and fight for the red, white and blue The vererans survived...could you? Imagine bullets flying, soldiers down A brother lost, an enemy found. They are heros, a purple heart they wear Each one with a story to share. A brother, sister, cousin or friend We would not be here without them.
