USA Veterans

Ray was a well-decorated veteran, a charming old man of 93 Who was on his last legs, yet extremely happy; a true mystery. He could have cried and said, “Oh, my life’s hard, poor me!” Instead, he praised the Lord, with a smile, for his life’s history.

His daughter, Laura, was so proud of Ray’s presence there With her, in his last earthly years, so they went everywhere. He was always handsome, sporty, well-dressed and groomed too, Especially his newly-cut hair with its glowing silvery-white hue.

Into family restaurants Laura took him with pride and great glee, Observing pleasurably, as Ray greeted folks with contagious hilarity. He used a cane, and attached thereon was an ‘ooga’ horn with a loud sound. He squeezed it constantly, creating laughter, while making his rounds.

To each table he would go, with a smile, gently waving his hand. He would wait patiently, show courtesy, too, silently stand. He greeted all with delight and a joyous radiance, all his own, Giving insight with testimony of God’s protection in battles he’d known.

Veterans are wonderful people who are celebrated every day for their treasured and eternal legacy for all Americans.

A vet we were privileged to know personally was Ray Meyers, and we admired him wholeheartedly. After he passed, I wanted to honor Ray, and celebrate all vets, their selfless service, and steadfast dedication to protecting freedom in the United States of America.

Victorious Veterans

Ray, a well-decorated veteran we knew, was a young man of ninety-three, Who in his last years, was happy, charming, and a great mystery! His daughter was so proud of his Military Service and his still being there. Into family restaurants, she took him, with great pride and care. He had a cane, and attached was a small horn with an “ooga” sound. He squeezed it, seeing folks laugh, as he gleefully made each round.

In his youth, Ray loved a good joke that was fun and in good taste, He never let an opportunity for merriment or a great idea go to waste. Turned down for the prom by his steady girlfriend, so spontaneously, That he and a friend decided justice should be served, anonymously. These playful young men, captured two geese, put them in her date’s car, Then, disguised by the night, they watched the couple’s shock, from afar.

Talking, years later, the challenging problems each person had to face Were forgotten, as time stood still, when Ray shared God’s glory and grace. His Christian witness and dedication to Military Service demonstrated That Vets sacrificed, fought valiantly, and are to be highly commemorated. They served selflessly and stood steadfastly with determined command To give future generations their strong birthright of freedom on demand.

Ray’s passed on to his reward now, and he’s restored and renewed! His Military Service gave him strength, peace, confidence, too. He knew no matter the problems each person had known and would face Could be conquered with God’s Steadfast Love, Eternal Life, Saving Grace. Americans thank God and Veterans for our safety, comfort, peace today. Veteran Heroes courageously Serve to Protect us and our beloved USA.
