For those who lost their lives in battle. <br />Their photo still rests upon the mantel. <br />They gave their lives, to fight for freedom. <br />They gave their lives, with spirit and wisdom. <br />Army boots and bags.Navy Seals and rags. <br />Air Force wings and badges.Marine Corps <br />boots and buttons.Helmets of steal which <br />truly toughen.Toughen the fighting men who <br />wish to be free.Remembering the lives we <br />lost for freedom.Remembering the days <br />we had to dig in.While fighting the wars on <br />land and sea.Defending our flag, for the <br />right to be free.A twenty one gun salute, for <br />all our brave men.Who battled at war, until <br />the very end.. <br /> <br />Veteran's Day Poetry By Kim Robin Edwards <br />Copyright 2010 <br />All rights reserved<br /><br />Kim Robin Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/veterans-day-salute/
