Poem –
On Veterans Day we honor all
Who answered to a service call
Soldiers young and soldiers old
Fought for freedom, brave and bold
Some have lived while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who,
Kept thinking of red, white and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights
They fought through many days and nights
And though we may not know each name
We thank all veterans just the same.
Taps will now be played by Karissa Harrison
