  7. Literature What is a Veteran? By Lynn C. Price, 2008 • “Nana, what’s a Veteran?Is it true they’re boys and girls?Can they really fly like eagles?Do they live in different worlds?” • I looked down on my angel,So wise beyond six years;Brown eyes wide open in innocence,Still free from ‘grown up’ fears. • Hand in hand we wandered,Through scrapbooks old with age,Her tiny fingers tracingThe photos on every page. I told her many stories,How her family tree is blessed,With courageous men and women,Who proudly gave their best. I considered it an honorTo share with my grandchild,How Veterans are so precious,Tho’ ours for just a while. She ran up to her room,Then came slowly back downstairs.“I ‘pinky-squared’ this promise,To let every Veteran know I care. Tomorrow I’ll rememberTo share with all my friends,A Veteran’s heart is goldenAnd I’m so proud of each of them.” What else would be considered literature?
