War Poem

In Honor Of Veterans

This short poem for Veterans Day is to give honor to the many selfless heroes who sacrificed themselves in so many ways and in so many wars throughout history so that we can live in freedom. Many of the heroes will carry those scars forever! Freedom isn't really free. Our heroes fought and sacrificed all for the price of our freedom!

he carries scars we'll never know.

So know that our freedom isn't free.
It came from heroes such as he!
