Today has been set aside to remember the men and women who have sacrificed their lives so that you and I can continue to enjoy the vast freedoms afforded us as Americans. The following words were appropriate to recognize those who have fought for this great country of ours. Author Unknown.

I see through different eyes.

I see a bigger picture when others see grey skies.

Though many can’t conceive it,

I stand…facing the wind.

My bravery not from fighting,

but from my strength within,

I am a Warrior.

I will walk the extra mile,

Not because I have to,

But because it’s worth my while.

I know that I am different,

When I am standing on a crowded street.

I know the fullness of winning;

I’ve tasted the cup of defeat.

I am a Warrior.

They say walk with ease

Though trained for bodily harm,

My intentions are for peace.

The world may come and go,

But a different path I’ll choose.

A path I will not stray from,

No matter…win or lose.
