moments to give veterans their due.

poetry and help a local youngster attend college. For additional

VETERANS DAY: NOVEMBER 11th
This day we honor those who served,
Their recognition well-deserved.
In valued branch, be it Army,
Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Navy,
Each one answered their country’s call
Giving of self to fight for all.
Some enlisted; some were draftees;
They served at home and overseas.
Valiant veterans tempered by strife;
Some gave the ultimate—their life
Protecting land and liberty,
And from their courage, victory.
We laud the brave who kept us free,
Hold each in our hearts and history.
