Veterans Celebrating Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rocking to western country rock, picking up beats throughout
the night, delighting spirits with an innate energy, Vets
here with their wives and sweethearts.

Feeling the need to celebrate life for they have fought and
won freedom for people they probably will never even meet in
this lifetime.

Yet they continue to stand for America, protecting our nation
from all enemies both foreign and domestic, our nation is the
kind of place where Veterans are honored and loved.

Blessed by God, as are their families who have given up time
spent away from them, making sacrifices so our freedom is
never taken away from the U.S.A.
