Veterans Day

My family did their task,
Each generation, this country asked.
From Revolution to Civil War,
Vietnam, Korea, to the Omaha shore.
From every line on down the tree,
Eventually it came to me.
Because they fought, so many years,
Because we shed so many tears,
I was never asked, nor had to go,
I think that’s something, they’d like to know.
