Somewhere a Veteran..........

by Ladykelshan
 Age Group: Adult

Somewhere a Veteran... stands watching, silently biding his time...passerby's stroll the path of the Black Wall that list thousands of soldiers that struggled in fight and toiled for years, in a war that lasted... Somewhere a Veteran,
Walks with his family, his eyes far away, distant, , recalling to himself, what's too painful to speak of. His Grandson, age three, runs over to an American flag, and says happily"look, it's a flag...stars, I see stars"! "I see stars too", recalls the Veteran, eyes glisten as they move on down the filled pathways. Somewhere a Veteran...
stands near his state, holding his cap, smiling. There is a wreath of flowers in red, white, and blue. A photograph in black n'white slightly yellowed sits near the wreath. "In memory of" says a banner near the wreath and picture. "Daddy, say cheese"! say his daughters. They are grown with children of their own. They don't know what their relative went thru in World War II. Somewhere a Veteran...
buried below, a gray tombstone, but not, alone.
We honor these men and women of the United States of America. We are proud of them, for they, have done great things. We will not forget them...
