Barbara Jackson of Shelbyville recently contacted the Times-Gazette about a poem she was inspired to write - saluting local veterans.

We have printed it to honor local veterans. We thank Barbara for her kind words of respect for those who served.

God Gave Me These Words

Submitted by Barbara Jackson

To all the veterans of the world . . .

God gave . . . died for us all on the rugged cross for our sins

He created you all; you’ve been through so much

Only God knows what you’ve done for us.

Veterans all over the world . . .

We don’t know what you’ve been through.

Only God knows what you’ve been through.

Only God knows what you’ve done for us.

God bless all the veterans of the world . . .

Some of you were wounded in action

Where would we be, without veterans who saved America

Only God knows what you’ve been through.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
