Honoring Our Vets Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Honoring our Veterans at the National Cemetery here in Phoenix,
Arizona, a huge turnout for all our Vets, there are 600,000
Veterans living here in Arizona and more moving here every year.

Many wreaths brought from organizations, American Legion to Viet-
nam veterans and many, many more; Vets who've died this year, there
were two from Arizona, a bell was hit in memory of both of them.

Now the band is playing songs from every branch of the service in
their honor, all Vets standing to be saluted and honored, for to-
day is their day.

So proud of each and every one of them, all deserving of our honor
forever, we will never forget them and their service, what a memor-
able ceremony this has been.

All our Vets, patriotically attended by We the People, true Americans,
a benediction having been given, bringing tears to many American's
eyes.

Now at the end of the ceremony, soldiers bringing white doves to the
forefront and are now being released, what a heart-rending moment as
our Veterans are honored in this special way.

America, our United States, stands united and free because of these
brave men and women who fought and some who died to protect our
lives of liberty THANK YOU FROM AMERICAN'S HEARTS, WE LOVE YOU! ! !
