Title: VETERANS DAY 2012 Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on November 11, 2012, 05:06:02 pm What Is A Veteran? A 'Veteran,' whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve is 'someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to and including his life.' Please take a moment to honor Our Veterans http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfJdtOcwDcY&feature=player_detailpage Freedom is not Free by Ashley Persyn There is a price we pay for freedom For it is not truly free But rather paid for by the contributions of veterans To buy our liberty As their blood drains from their body and runs like a river through the grass Over the years it's forgotten, war is placed in our past I don't think we all realize the importance veterans play as they voluntarily serve America each and every day We should honor the veterans for they act like a shield Protecting us from danger, keeping America healed. So if you would take a second to commemorate You will instantly see We owe veterans our gratitude For they are the reason we are free 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 |
