Our ex-soldiers need our support as they have seen and experienced life and death at the raw end and returning to normal life is never easy for them, a fine acrostic to champion the vets, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I fully agree!
Comment from Wendy G
A well-written rhyming acrostic with a timely theme. Your presentation is also thoughtfully done, and suits the US services. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Comment from Raul1
I will definitely honor a veteran soldier hero if he or she appears. They fight for our precious freedom and sometimes we take it for granted bur we shouldn't. Excellent work!

Comment from royowen
There are so many occupations that spend their life in service some dangerous, police, emergency workers, firemen and women, and even miners deep in the ground, and yet, very little mention is made of them, but at least you've lauded your fighting men, beautifully written and vividly presented, well done, blessings Roy

I fully agree Roy any and all who provide self service in any capacity should be lauded with praise.

Well done
Comment from dragonpoet
I like that this says we should honor all veterans for their willingness to serve and fight for us. I think the red white and blue font colors is aptly patriotic as is the show of the patches in the artwork.
I do think the first line in the last stanza is long and hard to understand.
It also inhibits the flow of the poem.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Thanks for your honest feedback!
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is excellently done! I love the presentation with the flag colors changing to coincide with the letters of thank a veteran. This is a rhymers nightmare and yet you do it with seeming ease. The rhyme sequence is difficult to do and you did this marvelously!
Thanks for addressing the issue of saluting the flag and for thanking the veterans who made us proud and free!

Comment from Douglas Goff
This is very good. I think it is a solid entry in the contest.
I like the line about veterans rarely bragging. The exception is too each other. Than the stories pour out and grow like a Chia Pet in a greenhouse.
Good luck!

Roger that, vets can only talk with ears of another that heard and eyes of another that saw the sights and sounds of man?s incredible memories.
Comment from Bill Schott
This rhyming acrostic poem, THANK A VETERAN, follows the vertical, first-letter formatting theme and sends out positive vibes and good thoughts for our beloved warriors.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
If not for the Veterans, all of us in the USA would be
living a completely different life no one would like. You
contest entry was great. The art and color scheme were
perfect. Your rhymes and words were descriptive and so
true.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan
