Salute old Glory and thank a Veteran
A Poem by Coyote Poetry

I need to remember a good friend. We live in a world where few of us are not touched by war.

Salute old Glory and thank a Veteran.
Raise your glass high and thank the Soldiers for standing tall. I drink a Miller Lite on 24 August for my good friend missed. Raise your glass to remember SSG. Donald N. Davis and all the soldiers who died in so many Wars. My worst day ain’t so bad. My friend taught me to be graceful to be alive and with family.
I remember my friend Donald N. Davis. Always a smile and helping hand if needed. We drank many a beers in Texas and Georgia Taverns. He stood tall and was a example to the young soldiers. He loved the Army. 24 plus years he served. He treated his daughters like princesses. The girls are young woman now. So beautiful and smart. He would be so proud of them.
I lost my friend in Iraq in August 2004. I raise my glass to his memory. I raise my glass to all the Soldiers.
To a safe return and not be forgotten. We need to remember them. Our men and woman standing tall for old USA. God Bless American and remember Wars are being fought. Our soldier need to be remembered.
When old Glory come bye. Raise your hand and salute. Thank a Veteran. You will never know what he had to do. To stand for freedom and liberty

Raise a glass I shall now. I will raise many this weekend to be sure and with everyone a silent prayer I will make for those currently serving, those who have served, and those who have fallen in the name of our freedom!
Words couldn’t truly express my or any Americans gratitude. I’m quite aware of the fact we have service men and women out there every day keeping us alive and giving us the freedom we have.
To all who serve, past, present and future. A glass raised and a here here, for without them we wouldn’t have this amazing place we can call home.
Here’s to every soldier and to America! May freedom reign for all!
Cheers!

I don’t know if I could bear the thought of really knowing what they went through. My heart breaks just thinking about what they go through. It’s pains, heartaches, and struggles we’ll never understand. *raises a glass and salutes the flag, in honor of all who have fallen and all who daily risk their lives for us and what this country should stand for*

Thank you Carissa. I hate war and I know we must protect ourselves. I have said ofen in my lifetime. We don’t stop war and hate. Hate will find us. Look at Paris, India and Orlando.

It sure does, sadly. 😦 But we can continue to spread love and support, a little goes a long way. If we don’t, if we give up, then that’s it. We have to keep hope alive.
