Duty,
Without your bravery,
I couldn’t be who I am,
Which is protected.
Pride,
Without your devotion,
I wouldn’t feel what I do,
Which is secure.
Freedom,
Without your desire,
I couldn’t sense your love,
Which surround my decisions.
Honor,
Without your service,
I wouldn’t understand sacrifice,
Which in humble graditude, I bow.
You,
Without your commitment,
I couldn’t be me,
Which I will love you for, always.
***
To all Veterans I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Yours,

What a lovely tribute Audrey. You should send this somewhere. I don’t know where you could do that, but some place where other veterans could see it and know your appreciation.
