A Veterans Pledge To Those Who Have Gone Before

                  When the cool winds of Autum

                  Clean the sky - and the rustle of

                  fallen leaves are heard under foot

                  I will remember

                  When the snows of winter either

                  fall in gentle softness - or

                  is driven into narrow corners

                  and - there gathers as crystal castles

                  I will remember

                  When the promise of Spring is kept

                  when the earth is soft and the

                  air is filled with the sound of

                  life's rebirth

                  I will remember

                  When the Summer stillness calms my soul

                  and the butterfly alights and -

                  would pause to bring joy

                  when the night sky reveals its splendor -

                  I will remember

                  Through your sacrifice, you have given me freedom to witness -

                  laughter

                  tears

                  pain -

                  and

                  joy

                  You have given me hope to make it through the night
