SOLDIERS
You in the uniform
Your rank and stance
The battle
I say thanks for your service
Wars you fought
Soldiers who didn’t survive
Honor among the dead
The flag waves for your service
I salute the ARMY, NAVY, MARINES, AIR FORCE and other military groups
Mission achieved
There are missions that are still going on
For those soldiers continued to remain strong
Your wounds are your rewards
How wars can be
The ashes only a soldier can see
Bitterness of war
Soldier defense
Always ready
Holding steady
Enemy lookout
Always a Veteran
At your best
True Veteran
The only that can contest
Doesn’t matter past nor current
Standing tall
Conquered all
Happy Veteran’s Day the call
