Please read this and don't be too critical about it. And please let me know what you think.
Veterans
Did they really die in vain?
So many good lives lost
While people live a life of freedom
Without a clue of the massive cost
Blood and tears are paid by us
The patriots of our time
Lives are lost so quickly
On the battle lines
We sacrifice without thanks
From those of whom we serve
We die alone on the front lines
In way No human deserves
We go away to far-off lands
And fight with every ounce
We travel through cities and towns
Whose names we can’t pronounce
“Support Our Troop” is a popular slogan
But do know what we’ve seen
When you see the colors half-mast
Do you really know what it means?
We are the soldiers past and present
With pride we fight for your rights
We do it all without any hesitation
Without regard for our own life
So the next time you see a veteran
Please take them to the side
Give them a hug and thank them
For the service they did provide
