A Special Section of the Ida County Courier & The Holstein Advance
Veterans Day • November 11, 2016 In this special section you will find Veterans, both young and old. Some who lived to tell their tales And those whose stories never got told. These men and women helped write Our nation’s storied past. Their honor is the reason Our flags often fly at half-mast. There is so much These soldiers had to sacrifice To ensure not only our freedom But, also, our way of life. Today we honor these veterans And all the ones heretofore. The calendar says they get one day, But we know they deserve much more. So, when you see a veteran, Today or any other, Raise a glass, tip your hat, let them know Your thanks can no longer be kept undercover. by R. F. Bruning
