Be brave,
be bold,
be who you
were meant to be.
Fear may mislead,
fear may discourage you.
Fear may say
you cannot be
who you’re meant to be,
and many never become
their best self.
Honor to the brave folks;
who left family behind,
who left friends behind,
who left wives behind,
who left husbands behind,
who left children behind.
This Veterans Day I celebrate you,
the few who responded of the many
called. And the families and friends
of those who bravely gave their lives
for our imperfect nation.
We celebrate you, who have
not let their dedication
go without notice
this Veterans Day.
