Veterans Day

Sat, 03/10/2018 - 22:35 -- CAVVET

A combat units living hell

Roger that, over, out, that smell

Don't mean nothin', monsoon rain,

Red mud, Kilo Mike Alpha, plane

And simple, Foxtrot Yankee, well,

 

It's every day in a Vets cell

Of memories, heros blood, tell

Them all, do not dare to profane

Veterans Day!

 

No matter how long, time won't quell

The sounds that rockets, bombs, death spell.

Yet Freedom rings where their names reign,

Sgt. MacKenzie words refrain,

Stand and salute those personnel

Veterans Day!
