"The Veterans"
By Rudyard Kipling
To-day, across our father’s graves,
The astonished years reveal
The remnant of that desperate host
Which cleansed our East with steel.
Hail and farewell! We greet you here,
With tears that none will scorn,
O Keepers of the House of old,
Or ever we were born!
One service more we dare to ask,
Pray for us, heroes, pray,
That when Fate lays on us our task
We do not shame the Day!
May we never forget the sacrifice that so many military
personnel gave for our country. May God bless them and their families for
enduring such a sacrifice. Our hearts ache with those families who lost love
ones, who fought on the battlefields. May we be better and more united because
of this. We salute our veterans and we thank you for your service!
