A Veteran's Day Poem By: Holly Rulli Atlantic News, Thursday, 11/14/02 (The following article is courtesy of the Atlantic News) Veteran's Day will come and go Quicker than the blink of an eye But memories of heroes present and past Will never, ever die. The youth of today, do you understand? The price brave men did pay To preserve the freedom we enjoy Each and every day. They were called to duty, and so they went Not knowing what was to be Many came home, some never did They sacrificed so we could be free. How lonely some must have felt How scared some had to be They paid the bill with their own blood What a great cost to be free. The heroes of our country Are the ones who paved the way For freedom and the many rights That we enjoy today. Next time, young folks, you pass someone Who may be old and gray Remember -- thanks to him or her You have your freedom today. They may dress funny, not see as well Walk a little slow But they were young when duty called And off to war did go. Brave men today are still at war How scared some must be How lonely some must feel inside Paying the price to be free. You may dress funny, not hear as well You drive your cars too fast But remember all those great brave men Of present and of past. So when you're called to duty Not knowing what is to come Remember all those men before you Who fought for our freedom. Support our President, support our troops Support our country, too As they go fighting for what is right For freedom the price is due.

You Can't Tell a Vet Just By Looking Author: Unknown He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carrier didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth whose behavior is outweighed in the cosmic scales by four hours of unparalleled bravery near the 38th Parallel in Korea. She is the nurse who fought against futility in Da Nang and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years. The consentience objector who put down his medic bag, took a machine gun and charged a bunker to save his wounded. He is the POW who left one person and came back another. He is the drill instructor who has never been in combat, but has saved countless lives by turning no-accounts into Marines. He is the parade-riding legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the white-haired guy bagging groceries at the supermarket, aggravatingly slow, who helped liberate a Nazi death camp. A vet is an ordinary and extraordinary human being -- someone who offered his life's vital years in the service of his country. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.  We will never be able to repay the debt of gratitude we owe.
