"All Are Heroes"

Do not judge the soldier's valor
By the medals they have won
many loose their lives or members
Long before the battle's won.
 
Instead treat them all as heroes
Dedicated one and all
Fighting for our country's freedom
Fearing not what might befall.
 
Comfort all that feel the trauma
Give hand to all those in need
Show respect for all the branches
For we need them all indeed.
 
Pray for his and her encounters
Knowing none shall be the same
Faith and trust will sure be needed
Because keeping peace is not a game.
 
Make a bond with those around you
Show them all you really care
We're indebted for the freedom
They have given me and you.
 
Roy E. Schepp
