God bless our military men and women, our Veterans, and their families.

THANK YOU!!!!! I love you all. THANK YOU!!!!!


Laying on a sheet of pain, he wonders what
will happen now.  Will he ever have a
normal life, now that part of him is missing?
Will he ever love?  Will he be loved?
Only time will tell.  Right now all he can do
is wonder if the sacrifice made is worth
the blood and tears - it is, soldier, it is.  Why?
Because you stood up for what you thought
right, believed in, signed your name, took
the oath, donned the uniform of the Air Force/
Army/Coast Guard/Marines/Navy, gave up
your life for freedom's sake, defended our shores
against all enemies, foreign and domestic -
would others be as willing?  As the daughter of/
sister of/cousin of/niece of Veterans and a
Veteran myself, you have my gratitude and love
for what you gave up.  You came home -
many others didn't.  Welcome home, soldier,
welcome home.  Thank you, I will remember!!

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/11)

Tell me about it Karla. Even after all that our "idiot leaders" put us through, I too still believe it is worth it. I do however, find it amazing that with all that has happened and is currently happening in this country that George and Dick haven't been impeached (to say nothing about our "representatives in govenment) or that we haven't had another American revolution. Am I wrong in feeling this way, that this country is no longer a true democracy? Our founding fathers have to be turning over in their graves as they used to say. Now they look down from Heaven and cry for what we have lost. Thank you for this great tribute Karla. God bless.

I, too, will remember the sacrifices they (you) made to defend our nation; I am indeed grateful. Thank you for serving, airman, and thank you for the sacrifices (your health), so we could remain free. God bless you and God bless ALL our veterans! Happy Veteran's Day; I will never forget!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your (grateful) twin sister, Karen Lynn. :D *SALUTE!*

Wonderful reminder of sacrifices made by our troops and veterans! Very well penned; brava!

We cheer them off to war, and very sadly, far too often neglect them when they return home. May many follow your wonderful example - and finally welcome them all home - and always remember their sacrifices - and finally give them all the benefits and all the respect that they deserve.

What a wonderful write my friend, very caring and heartfelt! I honestly think that too many don't take the time to consider what our soldiers have given up, the cost they pay, for our freedom, our rights, our safety, our families, with their lives...profound indeed! Well put my friend!
Blessings,
