I was once married to a disabled veteran, and many of my family members and friends survived several wars. On this Memorial Day, I would like to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. This poem is written with current events in mind. Veterans, thank you for your service to our country. To those who lost a loved one, may your loss never be in vain.
He died today
That brave young man
While fighting forces
In Afghanistan
He joins the others
Who so bravely fought
For our freedoms
Was it all for naught
His memory today
Will bring us tears
But when the 'morrow comes
We'll have only our fears
