A Toast to a Veteran
Crystal is the goblet, clear, like the vision of our mission.
Red is the wine, dark, to remind us of those who have gone before us. Strong is the hand that holds it, yet tender, when the time is nigh. Tall is the Warrior, whatever stature they may be. We stand together brothers, comrades, and mates. We pause to respect the departed, and reflect, on the life we choose to follow. We lift these glasses high in honor, tribute and glory to all who may be called American Armed Forces Veteran
