A Citizen Says Thank You


Memorial Day 2011

I've never marched in a band,
nor fought in a war.
The only uniform I ever wore
was when I was a Brownie Scout.

But today I pause for a moment to say a word
to those who put on the uniform.
To all those who marched and fought. 
You who cared and bled.
You who died.

A citizen says thank you.
