Veterans don't have a poem like the military does, I just want to contribute.
I Am A Veteran
By
Tyson W. Sullins (US Army Retired)

I am a veteran. I proudly served the United States of America as a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine or Guardian of the Coast. I will
always honor my fellow service members as they honor me. I will never accept or take credit for awards or accomplishments I did not earn. If called upon by my country I will return without question to any capacity that I can. I will assist my fellow veterans if I am able. I will never speak ill of my branch of service or other services of the United States Military. As a veteran I will always salute or stand for the National Anthem and to honor the flag of the United States of America if I can. As a representative of the military service I will never embarrass my branch and I will obey the laws and rules of the United States of America. I will never forget my fallen comrades because I am a veteran.
