"Only those who have served, know the true flavor of freedom.." Anon.
The Eagle’s Silent Tears
To all our mighty, brave who fell
While fighting in a war zone hell
For those who came back incomplete
Who now sleep on our homeland street
For the families of these soldiers, proud
Who’s tears flow free amid the crowd
The Bugler’s call rings on the air
As our country stands in silent prayer
While our nation’s anthem we do sing
Under clear blue skies to freedom’s ring
Without the fight of soldiers brave
Who within the lines, their all they gave
We’d live our life without freedom’s song
In a nation that was not so strong
And a life without freedom, it’s sad to say
Is not worth living for even one day
So on this day and all the rest
Please honor those who did their best
And though they fell to warring guns
Be humbled by our country’s sons
Who marched alone into harms way
To keep us safe for another day
For without their strength we’d not be free
And we’d live our lives without liberty
God bless all who have fallen, all who have served
And God Bless America

and shared from your heart,I feel deeply as I
know many do. This is a splendid tribute for us
to be part of, and second all that you have said.
Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable." - John F. Kennedy "
Our enemies should heed the words of JFK, as should those who believe that we can somehow live in peace with those who hate everything about us. You cannot have peace with those who desire your death. Thanks for sharing your wonderful poem.
