Debit “Remember them” and “Honor them” These words are said on days that have been set, as if enough; As if the dues are paid. These dates upon a calendar, some are circled red, The color of the fortune paid by living and by dead. The Flags, Parades and Tributes, an effort made – although We did not see blood bartered for the freedoms that we know. This most untender tender Some have seen – still see. Their investment gathers interest from sea to shining sea. These costly rights and privileges Are gifts to you and me, From Veterans, who paid the price; Know Freedom is not Free. by KheSanhE2-26 - Easy Echo - Lucille J.
