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 …
