On this Veteran's Day...


We can't think of a better way of honoring our nation's Veterans than with this wonderful poem written Jack Donnelly, Georganne's nephew who is 12 years old.

Jack lost both of his grandfathers this year. He's proud that both of them served our country, one in the Korean Conflict, the other in WWII. That's Grandpa Donnelly pictured above on the left, carrying a rifle. Here's Jack's tribute to his Grandfathers and all U.S. Veterans:


Veterans

With great will they fought
Powerful as one
Strong saviors, superior to the rest

Veterans always did the right thing
Helpful to all
Fighting for our freedom is the best thing of all

Keeping us strong all day and night
Honest even when faced with fright
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, strong as a tank

Their minds are great computers
Veterans, thanks for the help in war
You've helped our country in many ways so far
