Pear Harbor Poem "Surprised Infamy" and "It's the Veteran"
Dear Sir,
I am a bit late, but the following poems will introduce you to the PoetPatriot. More original thought and poems of Patriotism, Veteran and more can be found at www.PoetPatriot.com .
Surprised Infamy
by Roger W Hancock
A Nation’s Infamy,
Attack within America.
Surprise attack,
Wounds or kills four thousand,
Early on that dreadful morn.
Sounds of planes overhead,
Alarms ring, howl, screech,
Rude awakening from dead of sleep.
Battlestations, orders called,
Unexpected confusion, duty calls.
One hundred planes overhead,
Japan’s last emperor ordered,
Attack that lives in infamy.
American battleships… five,
American destroyers… three,
Four hundred planes all destroyed.
News spreads as wildfire.
“Pearl Harbor Attacked!”
President Roosevelt pledges,
“…triumph. So help us God."
America sleeps no more,
Two fronts fought ‘til victory,
Domination interests quelled.
December 7, remembrance,
Pearl Harbor attack,
Felt around the world.

It’s The Veteran
by Roger W Hancock
Backbone of liberty; fighting to keep us free,
Sacrifice homeland safety; battles fought abroad.
First Veterans; founding fathers,
Gave to us our freedom’s liberty.
‘Twas not the preacher, campus organizer,
Who fought for religions free . . . free assembly.
Veterans fought for your assembly, worship free.
It was not the lawyer, politician,
Who gave your right to vote . . . trials fair.
Veterans fought for your voice, equal treatment.
Nor was it the poet, reporter,
That fought for free press . . . free speech.
Veterans fought for unbiased news, talk. . . fear free.
Saluting the flag under which he served,
Veteran’s foundation sacrifice.
Freedom mortared by brave blood spilt . . .
Maintains our liberty rights.
