A special THANK YOU to all veterans! This is truly a special day. To those who have and still are fighting; to those who will never return home; to those who have come home wounded, both physically and emotionally; to the families of all our hero’s ~ THANK YOU!
Please stop for just a moment today and say a prayer for these brave men and women who fight for our freedom. It doesn’t matter the reason for the war. It doesn’t matter your political affiliation. It doesn’t matter whether you support the war or not. These men and women aren’t fighting because you are a Democrat or Republican. They aren’t fighting because you are Black or White. They are fighting because it is the right thing to do for our country. They are fighting for your freedom, for your safety, and for your peace of mind.
Heroes
By Jared Jenkins
In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people
Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes
Because of You, Unknown Soldier
By Courtney Tanabe
Because of you, I am here
Because of you, I am able to live freely
Yet I do not know you
And I have not done anything for you
But there you stand, ready to fight
And there you are prepared to die
For me
You’ve fought before
And you’ll fight again
For someone you don’t know
So thank you Unknown Soldier
Fighting for me
I’m here because of you
And I owe my future to you
Have you prayed for our Hero’s lately?
