To Those Who Serve

To those who serve or
have served in the US military…

where weaponry is part of
the uniform, not an accessory;
tools of the trade, so to speak,
provided to proud recruits.

where to live in close quarters
isn’t a honeymoon but a few
bunks clustered together to
allow for sleep, if possible.

where, day in and day out,
wives, husbands, and children,
are thousands of miles away;
for months, family is a troop of soldiers.

where survival depends on the
combined skills of the team,
no one job more important than
the next, yet each critical to survival.

where pride comes from knowing
that you are serving your country;
and protecting the freedoms of
millions of citizens and future generations.

… I thank you wholeheartedly.

A Veteran’s Gift

To those who served our country

I thank you for

Our freedom from harm
from opposing forces,
Our freedom to speak freely
of our views and religion,
Our freedom of choice–
how we live our lives.

We see what it cost you…
separation from families,
compromised living conditions,
time breaks in careers,
jaded memories, distress,
and life-time health concerns.

I thank you for

The gift of freedom with a
price few are willing to pay.
