J U S T FOR
ME
You did it all and just for me. You suffered unmentionable acts, ate what dogs wouldn’t, held
your friends as they drew their last breath and even watched them die. You, yes I am talking to every Veteran from World
War I to the Iraq War. Young, old, here or gone, you did it all for me. You who dared go, bled and even died all
just for me. You who sacrificed your limbs, family life, eyesight and health just for me. In-spite of the hardships
and instead of running away, you stood there and did it all just for me.You took the abuse, acceptance, denials, rejections
and even disrespect all just for me. You, yes you and even you that died, you all are my heroes. Done not just for glory but to protect that you held and continue to hold dear. You never inquired of my worthiness
or the Country that you served, but you just took up arms and did it all for me.With humility and the kiss of love, I thank
you from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, Gulf conflict, Iraq War and any
I failed to name. Thank you for helping God keep me alive for one more day. Cr. 2002, Ms. Alice B. Nixon-Barr,
