HONORING ALL U.S. VETERANS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO GOD AND MANKIND!
I CONTINUALLY LIFT YOU UP TO THE LORD, AND
KEEP YOU IN MY OWN DAILY PRAYERS
OF THANKSGIVING
God Bless You!
Free, Indeed
A Veterans Day Tribute to all those who have gone before us, AND to those who are
currently engaged in battle...
I Salute You!
Receive them, therefore, in The LORD, with all gladness, and hold such men and women in esteem, because, for the work of The Christ, he or she came close to death, disregarding their own lives... Philippians 2:29
I stand solidly, upon this sacred ground
Remembering the Brave Hearts' deeds;
Recalling images and explosive sounds
That I... may be free... indeed.
I hear the cries of the wounded ----
Rent flesh, sordid bodies, left behind to bleed
Until the life inside them, lies outside -- in a pool,
And yet, I... am free... indeed.
I see the path of fear that crosses each face,
But Valor is the greater need;
They gallantly call upon their Last Reserve,
For they, too... are free... indeed.
To say that history repeats itself,
Is like planting an immutable seed;
[Or to agree with wise King Solomon that]
'There's nothing new under the sun'
When you.. are free.. indeed.*
