Remembering the Vietnam Veteran
50 Years too Late
They came back with scars unseen and many, missing parts
Home was not the same for them, we broke so many hearts
Years go by, people grow, they think they see a different light
So, they asked the Vets forgiveness, to make them feel alright
Now 50 years have passed, we have learned and understand
Just how brutally we treated them, here, in their homeland
With so many gone now, when we finally know their plight
We say Thank You, and they forgive us, they believe it’s right
They were drafted young Americans, who simply had no choice,
The many countless horrors adding pain to their often-quiet voice
They will be the first to stand to recognize another mangled Vet
and the old wounds that we gave them, they’d rather just forget
Why when it’s almost too late, when most of them are gone, forgot
We have to scramble to include them, from facts we were not taught
God forgive US all as we honor why they stood and fought.
And pray for every one of them because our freedoms cannot be bought.

As a business that provides a service for the safety of young children, British Swim School recognizes veterans and how integral to the safety and well-being they are to our communities. We thank you for your service.
With over 40 years of experience, our program has proven effective in helping individuals of all ages and abilities become safer, stronger swimmers!
What sets British Swim School apart from other swim lesson providers?
- Survival-First Approach – All our swimming lessons emphasize water survival techniques. Why? Swimmers need to know how to survive in the water before advancing to stroke skills.
- Goal-Oriented Program – Each class contains five clearly defined goals to achieve before advancing to the next level. Setting goals provides structure and gives students multiple opportunities for achievement.
Year-Round Enrollment – We accept ongoing enrollments, so students can join any time and get started right away.
