Veterans Of War

We have dreaded this day for a long long time, And leaving us now
would feel like a crime.
But knowing how much you mean to us nowaday, Should not make you feel
like a castaway.
Your stories will live on,
Even though now you may be gone.
We appreciate the work you have done with all our hearts, And can't
thank you enough, even though war may have torn us apart.
Your pure hearts helped remember the fight that was fought
And powerful lessons of mankind were taught
Tonight, some of you may take your final bow Your names will be
remembered in history now.
