Veteran’s Day Poem

  • November 11, 2021
Veteran’s Day

In honor of Veteran’s Day, we would like to share a poem written by one of our Residents. When asked why Veteran’s Day holds a special place in her heart, Mary shared that her husband and three sons all served in the U.S. Marine Corps. We are grateful to them, and to all who have served to protect our freedoms.

VA Waiting Room
In Remembrance of our Veterans by Mary Pettit

 

… sitting across from

one another

exchanging smiles

nodding a hello

 

sharing war stories

some similarities

a few differences

just different wars

 

respectful

for the common ground

they share

while some sit silently

 

still fighting

his own

private war …
