 Our Veterans

 Just For Vets by Levi Levin

They stood for me, they stood for you,

They died for America, the red, white, and blue.

 

They didn’t ask for fame as they so proudly served,

They usually wouldn’t talk about it, didn’t wanna be heard.

 

They willing rose to the call of duty,

They fought on the battlefield with dignity.

 

For the our freedom they bled and died,

Veterans we salute you far and wide.

Happy veterans day y'all.

A very good poem. Us Veterans stick together. At work WW2, Korean war and Vietnam vets sit together. Men who survived war join a lifetime club. A outstanding poem.

Thanks Coyote. I finally was able to log back in to my original profile after hours of trying passwords! And updated my email. And yes we Vets do. I have a popular Facebook page called Veterans Supporting Veterans. I post things helpful to Vets here and there.

A very good post. I wrote a short story about meeting a wounded Veteran. My brother, my friend. We need you. It is sad when young soldiers are waiting for death.

To all the vets of the wars gone by i say thank you. I wish life were fair and the government would treat you all with the respect and honor deserved . I am old enough to remember how we treated the vets of vietnam How we decided they were less deserving Because they didnt win. To that i say sad sad those men deserved so much better. it is the american psyche that loves the start of the war but doesnt like the cost

Thank you so much my friend. And I do find it amazing that soldiers get blamed for what politicians cook up. Sad, but a true injustice.

Amen. Too much respect and acknowlegement can never be paid.

True Sam. Too many like to spit and scoff as they enjoy the labors of others.
