Veteran's Day: a poem

Hero

A Hero guards and protects
Those who need protection
Those with land in danger
Those who can’t fight back
A Hero stands tall in the presence of danger
Against bullies
Against unfair rules
Against those who would do harm
A Hero helps those in need
Helps because of a sense of honor
Helps because of a sense of code
Helps because of a sense of loyalty
A Hero doesn’t require thanks,
But every day we should be grateful and give thanks
To all the men and women
In our Armed Services for
Performing heroic deeds daily
