Two Days A Year
Two days a year ~ Belong to a few,
Who risk their lives ~ For the Red, White & Blue,
Two days a year ~ Are set aside,
To remember those who live and died,
Two days a year ~ Does this seem right?
For those who guard both day and night,
Two days a year ~ Out of three-sixty-five,
Men ate and slept and hid outside,
Two days a year ~ Belongs to them,
Now only family remembers her and him,
Two days a year ~ “Holidays” now,
A three day weekend ~ Games all around,
Two days a year ~ To “Thank a Vet”,
Sadly this Nation ~ Doesn’t realize their debt.
~ Thank You All ~ Where would we be without you?
Our thanks and Love to all, Past, Present, and Future for the Sacrifices and Ultimate Sacrice Made by You All!!

SADLY THIS IS TOO TRUE!!
I found this poem on the net and fell in love with it because it is sad but true God Bless All in our Armed Forces and those who have Proudly served in the past. The Poet's name is unknown as that is how it was listed, but a great poem nontheless.
