Remembering our Veterans!

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 

I am very proud to know my Father was a veteran, that my Uncle was a veteran, my Late Brother-in-law, my step son and my husband are all Veterans. I do not believe we need 6 degrees of separation to find a veteran that is somehow in our lives. PLEASE remember them today!
