Veteran's Day Salute

by Kim Robin Edwards
(Anaheim,California U.S.A.)

For those who lost their lives in battle.
Their photos still rests upon the mantel.
They gave their lives, to fight for freedom.
They gave their lives with spirit and wisdom.
Army boots and bags. Navy Seals and rags.
Air Force wings and badges. Marine Corps
boots and buttons. Helmets of steal which
truly toughen. Toughen the fighting men who
wish to be free. Remembering the lives we
lost for freedom. Remembering the days
we had to dig in. While fighting the wars on
land and sea. Defending our flag, for the
right to be free. A twenty one gun salute, for
all our brave men, who battled at war, until
the very end..
