If you’ve served in the U.S. military,
Then you are veteran today and more;
The respect and admiration you look for
Takes you above, beyond the ordinary.
You sacrificed many things in your life,
The list is long, very long and heavy;
Pain and suffering on you was levied,
But you bore them all quietly, readily.
When the call came to face the impending threat,
You reported to quell the coming storm;
To fight it in any fashion or form,
Your selfless service we'll never forget.
You’re our celebrity today in anyway;
You’re especial; no other compares to you;
We’re grateful for the service you've performed;
You’re be remembered on this day.
Our nation honors you & bids you be blessed;
And let no one dishonor you in any way.
You’ve served our country and have earned the honor
To be a veteran—our country’s very best.

- Comment from author about the poem: I dedicate this poem to all our veterans. Specially my dad who served in the Korean War. To my brother in the U.S. Navy stationed in Guam. To my brother Orlando who served as an MP in Germany. To my brother-in-law Sam, who is a Navy vet. And to all my dear friends who have served and who have bear arms with me during our country's conflicts. I salute you today and I want to thank you for your service.

A good tribute to all who served. Today in the UK it is Remembrance Day where we remember all who died in the the First and Second World Wars and all the subsequent conflicts.
May they all be honoured.
