Today is Veterans Day, a time for us to remember, honor, and celebrate all those who have put their lives on the line defending the greatest nation the world has ever known. In doing so I’d like to bring to you a speech by Allen West made yesterday at Muster XXVII at the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, FL. In it he address all veterans as well as the Marines on their birthday and of course the Navy SEALs.
Here is his speech:
And via special request from AmericanBorninCanada, a poem:
Twice the Thanks
I am a part of two nations,
both mean so much to me.
Canada and America
both give men to keep us free.Canada today remembers those,
who did not die in vain.
America today gives thanks
to those whose courage never wanes.When you see a poppy today,
remember those who died.
A poem I think of, called Flanders Fields
is where many from both nations lie.When you see a veteran today,
thank him for his service for you.
He gave so much we can not know
his love for his country is true.America’s Veterans, I thank you,
and for you all I thank the Lord above.
I think of what you’ve done for me
and this beautiful country that I love.Canada, I left so long ago.
But those who died are not forgotten.
Even though my heart is in the USA,
I remember those who are gone more often.As I grow older, I so love America,
more and more each day.
Because of all our soldiers past and now,
about them I wish I had the words to say.God please Bless these two nations,
both mean so much to me.
Canada and America
God Bless and keep those who make us free.The RightScoop has many Veterans.
Some newer, some a long time here.
You are all so special to me,
and to me have become so dear.Thank you never seems enough
for all you have done for me,
but it is my heart you all do have,
it’s all I can give you see.God Bless and thank you all our Veterans and those still serving us on this Veteran’s/ Remembrance Day.
