To Those Who Were

Written by
Evan Hunter Skelley


To those who wore “The Uniform”

To those who wore the uniform,

The one that I have not

I make this solemn promise that,

You will not be forgot

To serve, to fight, for freedoms’ sake

Your sacrifice so grand

To keep Old Glory flying free

Across our noble land

To those who wore the uniform

Just like my grandpa did

I pledge to you my loyalty

Although I’m just a kid

I honor you for bravery

On land, at sea, in air

I will carry on the legacy

Of a gallant Legionnaire

To those who wore the uniform

To each and every one

I’ll stand up proud

And say it loud

THANK YOU, from a “SON”


Wriiten by the son of,
Thom Skelley
State Commander
