A Soldier Cries

I get tired of the way the media, and the small minded people tend to make our Soldiers look like the enemies

A soldier cries
Half a world away
He has so much pain
Seen in the eyes
Of a Soldier
No more than
A boy.
Once innocent eyes
Take in death and
Destruction
But he does not
Question his decision
To fight for America the free
He knows now
That some will pay
The ultimate sacrifice
The way his Father's buddies
Did in Nam.
A soldier cries
The terror of war
Filling his eyes
But he fought
For his country
And he will go home
A hero.

I am tired of it too. They ought to send these war protesters to Iraq and let THEM fight the war on terror!! Besides, they are the enemy, so why are WE getting blamed or charged with murder when they are killing OUR men and women?? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever! God salute our veterans, and let us give them the honor they deserve! It's a travesty!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

No one, unless they've been there, can fully appreciate what our men and women in uniform go through for our freedom. I think this comes danged close...........one of your best, Michelle; as a veteran, it sickens me how the media and society are villifying our soldiers and making heroes out of the enemy. DANGED shame. Reminds me of Vietnam all over again..................well done, and I salute you.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
