I am a veteran. U.S. Army, Medical Corp. This is my Veteran's day thought:

             STRANGEST DREAM (Ed McCurdy, 1952)

LAST NIGHT I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM.,
I'D EVER DREAMED BEFORE,
I DREAMED THE WORLD HAD ALL AGREED,
TO PUT AN END TO WAR.

I DREAMED I SAW A MIGHTY ROOM,
THE ROOM WAS FILLED WITH MEN,
AND THE PAPER THEY WERE SIGNING SAID,
I'LL NEVER FIGHT AGAIN.

AND WHEN THE PAPER WAS ALL SIGNED,
AND A MILLION COPIES MADE,
THEY ALL JOINED HANDS AND BOWED THEIR HEADS,
AND GRATEFUL PRAYERS WERE PRAYED.

AND THE PEOPLE IN THE STREET BELOW,
WERE DANCING ROUND AND ROUND,
WHILE SWORDS AND GUNS AND UNIFORMS,
WERE BURIED IN THE GROUND.

LAST NIGHT ID HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM,
I'D EVER DREAMED BEFORE ....
