Last week Zach's school had a ceremony to honor veterans, and all of the first graders sang a number of songs - Zach did a great job! Each veteran that attended was acknowledged by name. The school did a fantastic job. My dad came to represent the Army and was acknowledged for the time he served - Thank you, Dad. Aaron, unfortunately, couldn't be there to represent the Marines. To all the veterans who have served - thank you.
Heroes
In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people
Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes
Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through hell and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so
For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory
Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes
