Bernalillo Dems Give to Vets in Need

Lynn Jacobs helps pack the gifts at last night's potluck

‘Twas the weekend before Christmas
and all through the land
Democrats were working to give vets a hand

Packages were wrapped with paper and care
Filled with jackets and blankets to spare

Money collected was donated too
Since veterans need things like razors and shoes

The Veterans Integration Center was where they chose
To help this season in honor of our heroes

We live in a country beautiful and free
This Holiday Season it’s up to you and me

To remember our brothers and sisters in arms
In hope they return soon and safe from all harms

The gifts will be delivered Saturday at Two
To veterans who served for me and you

The Democrats will exclaim with happiness and glee
“Best wishes this season in the land of the free!”

(Democracy for New Mexico and the DPNM kicking donkey float helped collect donations at our Meetup earlier this month.)
