“Mr. President, in honor of Veterans Day and the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families I ask unanimous consent that this poem penned by Albert Caswell be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: This Veteran's Day (By Albert Caswell) This. . . . This Veteran's Day. . . . As you kneel down and pray. . . . Pray a prayer, for all those heroes who can not so be here this day. . . . Who now so far across the shores, so walk into that valley of death for us as do they. . . . All with families who live so close, whose love ones but mean the most . . . we pray. . . . Who live in worry and so fear, who live in tears. . . . And the ones who but gave That Last Full Measure, America's Greatest of All Treasures here! Who are now so separated on this earth, forevermore because of their fine worth so portrayed. . . . Until, up in Heaven once more they will together be as their tears begin to burst will they. . . . And pray for all those families, who with such faith do now so believe! Who are now so left upon this earth, now so left all alone to so grieve. . . . And when you look upon your child. . . . And you so see, all of their most wonderful smiles. . . . And everything seems so right, as you hold them tight so all the while. . . . Remember all of them and all of these! The Armed Forces and their families, do so please! One and all, all Patriots of Peace!…”
