It’s so nice to meet another vet
even though your name I do forget.
But your serving in the Army for ten years
was sure to end any known tears!

For we who served did fear thee not;
we did it for friends and family we got.
There was never a second thought in mind;
I did my eleven years and seventeen days of time!

If given the chance we’d do it again,
perhaps to see all war end.
But that’s something of which we can’t be sure
when there are innocent victims of war!

Yet, serving we became victims, too,
losing a few friends doing the “do.”
Do you ever really wonder about
what we’ve all gone through, there is no doubt!

It’s more than just a tale to spin.
Did you protest war, way back when?
Where or when did our story begin?
It was the war, not the serviceman.

So, if in need, go to a veteran;
they’d help you any way they can.
They’d give you the shirt off their back,
so, why should there be spit or a verbal attack?

Honor the Source of Your Freedom!
Yes, Honor the Source of Your Freedom!
