Thank You Ms. Veteran Poem by Walterrean Salley

Thank You Ms. Veteran

Rating: 5.0


Thank You Ms. Veteran.
Hats off to you
For your time, and services,
And sacrifices too.
You're one of a kind.

A true patriot—
Whose patriotism shows—
You saw the need,
And decided to go.
Your breed is hard to find.

Daughters, sisters,
Aunts and wives,
Who've embraced the challenge
Of a military life—
Enduring the grind.

Brave young soldiers,
Taking a stand.
Mother, protecting
The motherland.
Women of like mind.

Your courage reflects
Your noble goal—
The part you've played
In the Military role—
Having left all behind.

And so, let gratefulness
Be the chime
Of the tribute
Of this rhyme,
Saluting you in kind.

This is an excellent tribute to the men and women that serve their country, while I disagree with being a soldier I respect and commend the choice of putting once life for the protection of people. Its also commanding that you remember the families of the soldiers to, they sacrifice just as much as those on the front line Great Work
