A day late- but yesterday my back wiped out my entire day/night 😞
To those who served with courage and might,
I offer this apology, a heartfelt plea tonight.
Your sacrifices were noble, your devotion so true,
Yet some have forgotten the principles we once knew.
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave,
We stood united, with freedom to save.
But as time has passed, divisions have grown,
And some have strayed from the values we've known.
I'm sorry for those who've taken for granted,
The freedoms you fought for, the rights that you planted.
In a world that's evolving, with differing views,
Let's remember the unity that you did choose.
The path to self-indulgence, socialism, and more,
May seem tempting to some, but we must restore,
The essence of liberty, the American dream,
For your sacrifices should never be unseen.
So, to those who've served, I apologize today,
For the discord that's grown, for the rifts in the way.
Let's strive for a nation where your sacrifices shine,
And the principles of our founding in our hearts entwine.
