Veterans Day









"You gave for peace with courage

That families may be free

So children could grow strong

And safe they'd ever be.




In giving for the sake of peace

You may have suffered loss

Your body may still show its wounds

From taking up the cause.




May remembrance of your time away

Your sacrifice for peace

Spur us on to strive more strongly

For freedom, that there'll be release.




From causes that sent some away

To fight that we may freely live

With gratefulness we thank you, veterans

For all you gave and give!"

Nice post of remembrance. The PM's Grampie fought in the war and her Grammie was a war bride. We will always remember.
