Ode to the Veterans

Veterans Day was nearly two weeks ago, but we wanted to give a little shout out to all of those amazing soldiers who have fought and are currently fighting for all of the freedoms we daily enjoy. THANK YOU! Land of the free, because of the brave!

Seth wrote a poem about a soldier. I thought it would be appropriate to share here. It is called:

I Am a Soldier-by Seth Redd

I am a soldier.

I wonder if I am brave enough.

I hear the gun shots.

I see the enemy attacking.

I want to serve my country.

I am a soldier.

I pretend I am shooting the enemy.
I feel the bombs dropping under my feet.
I touch the trigger to fire.
I worry that I am going to die.
I cry, "Fire"!
I am a soldier.

I understand that I love my country
I say, "God bless America".
I try to do my best.
I hope we will win the war.
I am a soldier.
