said that Veterans Day should be every day,
and I suppose it is, in it's own way;
at least for those of us, fortunate to make it back,
we are not the important ones, it's the others that we lack.
We'll go today and march in the parade,
small children will wonder how we made the grade,
but the important ones will be missing, they won't march at all,
they are the ones who answered the final call.
Someday it's possible, in the march of time,
when everyone who marches, maybe your grandson or mine,
will have no missing comrades, who didn't make it back,
but for love of country they march the simple track.
Happy Veterans Day!
