Happy Veterans Day! We would like to take time to thank all of the veterans who have served this country and protected our freedom.

In honor of those who have served, we would like to share the poem entitled, Veterans Day by Cheryl Dyson.

Veterans Day by Cheryl Dyson

On Veterans Day we honor all,
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old,
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who,
Kept thinking of red, white and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights,
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
We thank ALL veterans just the same.
