Silent Heroes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Solitary, standing alone on the home front, waiting
for their loved ones who are living their purposes.

Vets never complaining, committing their lives to
protecting our country and it's citizens.

Saluting, listening to commands, their lives not their
own, yet doing it all with the oath they've made.

Families sacrificing their love in many ways also,
giving to our nation their wives, husbands, sons and
daughters.

Silent heroes behind our Vets, keeping them filled with
love and caring whether near or far away.
