Inside: 9 veterans acrostic poem ideas for Veterans Day to honor the vets in our lives!
Veterans day isn’t just another bank holiday or day off of school, though it’s become this for many of us.
When we’re so far removed from the last major war that the United States was involved in and we don’t know too many people who have fought for us overseas, it can be so easy to just kind of forget what we are celebrating when Veterans day rolls around.
I have more than a few veterans in my family and even I have a hard time remembering that they should be honored on this day.
Respecting those that have done what the rest of us would never do is a big deal!
So as you’re teaching your kids to honor veterans or if you want to send a card to a family member this veterans day, here are some veterans acrostic poems to share.

Honoring Veterans: Acrostic Poems
Several of my family members on my father’s side of the family have fought in various wars or served in the other branches of the military during war time. It’s a wild thought to think about, and even wilder when I realize that I didn’t know what that meant when I was growing up with them.
These poems might just be something that kids can use to get the gears turning and realize what it really means to serve in a war. For the most part, I know children have an easy time seeing men and women in camouflage uniforms and knowing that they’re heroes.
If you’re trying to teach some of the kids in your life about what it means to be a veteran, read these acrostic poems and then find some templates to create your own! Having to put their own words to it might help the concept grow even more.
Victory or defeat
Every veteran
Takes time to fight for our country
Everyone thanks them
Remembering to help them
Around
Nicely and kindly
Sympathetically, I say thanks to all the veterans
Very obedient to the commander
Everyone has a job in life
To protect America and fight for
Each freedom we have
Ready to stand up for each other and for
America
Never will we forget the brave sacrifices that these
Special people made to protect us and keep us safe
Veterans Acrostic Poems
These acrostic poems about veterans are inspirational and remind me why we celebrate the people that we do!
It’s important to let those that have risked so much know that we value what they have done. And it’s easy to forget what they’ve done. So I try to let these poems speak, or even try to let them move me in a way that I even inwardly honor the sacrifice even more than before.

Veterans fought for us
Ever veteran is a hero
They protect us
Each veteran should be thanked
Remember November 11th
After the war they came home
Never forget our heroes
Valiantly serving
Endangering their lives for other
Tolerant of all conditions
Enduring through it all
Ready to save lives, because that is what they do
Always remembered. You have
Never failed us
Super heroes we will never you forget
Vigilant veterans around the world
Every soldier united
Trying to save their country
Encouraging people to hope
Reaching their goals for defense
Always striving to keep the peace
Never turning their backs on their country
