America, the land of the free,
Choices as far as the eyes can see.
But with this freedom comes a price,
Many have had to sacrifice.

The fighting and the dangers they face,
All for us to have a safe place.
They sacrifice all to see us protected,
It doesn't matter who is elected.

They will continue to fight for what they believe,
They want our enemies no more to deceive.
Just like the past in wars they did fight,
Because they knew our freedom was right.

So thank all the veterans and people in service,
Please don't be shy or even nervous.
These people help to keep our country grand,
And help to unite this wonderful land.

Excellent write Marsha; our freedom cost dearly and we should never forget; I know I've said it before, but it's worth repeating- that's one of the things I like best about your poems: you honor your country and your family and heritage- a beautiful quality to possess. *****
