Veterans Day

Thank you all who have served and those who are still serving our country for our freedom!

"Just A Common Soldier"

By, A. Lawrence Vaincourt

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,

And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,

In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes every one.

And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,

All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,

And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,

For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.

Held a job and raised a family, quietly going on his own way,

And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.

God Bless America And All Those Who Serve!!!!

Thank a soldier today and everyday!

Love All Ya All,

Barb
