MURRAY COUNTY POETRYPoems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County VETERANS DAY by John Homer Luffman1910-1987 THEY ANSWERED PROUDLY WHEN THEY HEARD THE CALL AS ANY MAN WHO LOVES HIS COUNTRY SHOULD. AND MANY WERE THE ONES DESTINED TO FALL AT SAINT MIHIEL, ARGONNE OR BELLEAU WOOD. AGAIN THEY WENT TO HALT THE TYRANT'S GAIN- TO NORMANDY, THE PHILIPPINES OR ANZIO WHERE MANY MORE WOULD FALL AND THERE REMAIN, NOT KNOWING WHO HAD WON, THEY OR THE FOE. THEY WENT WHEN DUTY CALLED TO THEM ONCE MORE TO YALU AND A PLACE CALLED PORKCHOP HILL, AND NOW AGAIN THEY HEAR THE CANNONS ROAR- IN VIET NAM THEIR DUTIES THEY FULFILL. THEY DIDN'T BURN THEIR DRAFT CARDS OR DEFER TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY EACH IN HIS OWN WAY THE NATION HONORS THESE WHO HONORED HER AND SPEAKS IT THANKS TO THEM ON VETERANS DAY. Murray County Poetry
