In the echoes of battles, in the silence of the night,
A soldier stands tall, his heart filled with might.
With gratitude in our souls, our voices unite,
Saluting the heroes who fought for our rights.
Courage in Uniform
In the uniform of courage, they stand so bold,
Stories untold, yet in their eyes, it’s all foretold.

Patriot’s Pledge
To the ones who served, a pledge we make,
Gratitude in our hearts, for freedom’s sake.
In the footsteps of heroes, we strive to partake,

A Soldier by Robert Frost
A Soldier by Robert Frost is one of the most famous poems used for Veterans Day tributes.
He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,
That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,
But still lies pointed as it plowed the dust.
If we who sight along it round the world,
See nothing worthy to have been its mark,
It is because like men we look too near,
Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,
Our missiles always make too short an arc.
They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect
The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
They make us cringe for metal-point on stone.
But this we know, the obstacle that checked
And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.
Happy Veterans Day. You can also thank a Veteran with these Veterans Day memes.
