With Veteran's Day approaching this seems like an appropriate time to share my poetry with our armed forces of the United States and their families.

PROUD AMERICANS
by: Margaret L. Angerer

There are millions of proud Americans
How many we can't say;
Thousands have gone before us,
And with their lives did pay.

So with these words,
Fresh in my mind,
I say to the military,
Of every kind.

"Thank you all,
For risking your lives;
For leaving your families,
Your children, your wives.

Thank you each one,
For all that you do;
For protecting our nation,
Our RED WHITE and BLUE".
