Today
on Veterans’
Day,
we honor
those
who chose
to serve
to preserve
an ideal
and a
real
way of life.
Let’s honor
those
whose
honor
rose
to duty
to country
and freedom.
Democracy
could be
easily
lost;
not even
militarily.
We should
wage war
warily,
and carefully
plan
strategy,
with approval
from congress
before
any dangerous
service
is asked
of those
made of honor.
We approached
a precipice
politically,
and thankfully,
we’re changing
course.
Each man
and woman,
present
and future
veteran
of all ranks
deserve
our thanks.
Those
made of honor
more than
glory
(see Hegseth
for such
a distorted
story)
know that
combat
should be
for democracy,
not merely
to kill
an enemy.
We honor
those
who fought
for freedom
from
insecurity,
not some
sort of
purity,
or money-
driven
big commission
politician
know-nothing
who would
do anything
while
mocking
honor.
Shocking
horror
will
reoccur
as those
most
desperate
will surely
test it.
We are
grateful
to those
whose
service
has preserved
us.
You are
made
of honor.
Thank you
for your
service.
