This is a picture of our veterans, at church, taken last year.
Dot Barr crocheted all the pillows that each man is holding.
She also put together this picture. Tomorrow is Veterans Day.
Be sure to fly your flag and thank a veteran.
FORGOTTEN HEROS
They return from every war
Thanking God to be alive.
They meld into society,
Feeling blessed to have survived.
Some, with daily nightmares
And memories hard to bear,
Some, with physical reminders,
Of limbs no longer there.
Some, with great hopes for the future,
Find jobs hard to find
And feel that this country
Is neither loyal or kind.
Some of them return,
To be confined to bed or chair
And never have a visitor
To offer thanks or a word of cheer.
They are the forgotten heroes,
Who answered this nation's call,
Our brave, American Veterans...
Who were willing to give their all!
