    Veterans Day/Remembrance Day Contest Winner 

To my favorite vet

My lovely wife

On Veterans Day

I salute you

Who chose to serve

Your adopted homeland

So many years ago

It seems like yesterday

When you put on the uniform

And began decades of service

And I followed you

To the ends of the world

Just to be by your side

As you answered

The call of service

To make the world

A better place

For having been there

And now as time goes by

Our memories begin to fade

But they can’t take that away

From you

For you served your country

And will forever be my hero

And our national treasure
