As we gather in celebration <br />Of our men and women in uniform <br />Pride fills our hearts and souls <br />As they are honored one by one <br /> <br />Most of us can’t imagine <br />Just what hardships they’ve been through <br />Fighting for their country <br />For me and yes, for you <br /> <br />We bring them all together <br />If not in body then in mind <br />They are treasured true Americans <br />They are really one of a kind <br /> <br />With balloons and banners we show them <br />How much they mean to us <br />And some of them probably wonder <br />Why we make such a fuss <br /> <br />Whatever we can do to show <br />How much we really care <br />Let us do it in our own special way <br />Our love for them them we share!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-honor-our-veterans/
