"On This Day"

On this day, every year, veterans are respected and honored
for the bravery they have shown

They risk life and limb to serve their country,
the country that themselves and many others live in

On this day, an armistice was made during World War I
on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month

Armistice Day was later changed to Veterans Day
to honor not just an armistice but all veterans

On this day, we remember the sacrifices made,
made by veterans that did so much to protect us

They leave their close ones to secure the future of other families
and risk dying which consequently leaves their wives, husbands, or children to fend for themselves

On this day, we are thankful as we should be every day,
for the lives we live thanks to them

Their bravery, courage, and honor, is something some but not many acknowledge every day

For all of this, our country is eternally in the debt of all veterans, living or deceased.
