Happy Veterans' Day

Welcome to "Beyond Rodney and Jim, the Veteran's Day special".



Now notice how I have decided to be very serious with this post and changed my font to Times.



Listen to this poem, while playing patriotic music in the background:



In war, there are lives risked and lives taken
Men and women giving their best to defend what they love
They defend their country
Their honor
Their people

Some call them soldiers
Others call them heroes

Our veterans have risked their lives for us
They have lived through heck and fought with honor
Many have killed
And regret doing so

For every life, there is a soul
For every soul, there is a life
For those who have died, we show great appreciation and remembrance
For those who live, along with them live the horrific memories of battle
Some, memories of defeat
Some, memories of victory

Our veterans were more than soldiers
They were, and still are heroes.



Thank you for your reverence, and...



Happy Veterans' Day.
