Here's an example of easy Veterans Day poetry:

Every year on Veterans Day
Uncle William leads the way
in three cornered hat, with musket, too,
holding high the red, white, and blue.

The colorguard of veterans leads
the marching band which then proceeds,
stepping smartly to the beat
six abreast across the street.

Soldiers, sailors, corpsmen, too,
march side by side with those who flew,
honoring patriots of this great nation
who guard our liberties, lives, foundation.

Your story and poem become a web page about your family's Veterans Day traditions.
