Tribute to Veterans


You are the ones, 

Who defend. 

 

You are the ones, 

Who protect. 

 

Be honored, 

Young or old. 

 

No matter what war, 

For you, we respect. 

 

Your sacrifice, 

An honor. 

 

To see you, 

Feel pride, 

 

To hear you,

Feel pain,

 

To know you,

Feel love.

 

You are the ones,

Who lost your lives,

 

You are the ones,

Who lost them, but didn't die.

 

You are the ones,

Who are scarred beyond hope.

 

Let us help your healing,

For you, always:

 

HOPE

I have wanted to be a writer since five years old and have spent my whole life working towards that goal. I've a strong imagination and when I set my mind to something, no one can stop me. My family history is rich and I am proud of my heritage, but also I am a proud, patriotic American. Speaking out for justice, freedom, liberty, and truth are important to me.
