Your service and self-sacrifice on behalf of your fellow human beings and your country will be always with you in mind, body and soul, Karla. May your powerful vote always carry the significance that such weight and passion deserve. Your country can never outdo your gift in repayment, but I sure wish it would make every effort to try! And the cane can never stop you from walking tall in your own eyes and in the eyes of all who salute you and your fellow service members. We are forever indebted. xx

So sad & disappointing, isn't it?

...but what a gorgeous photo of the flag you have gifted us with!!!!

May it always fly high.

Much, much, love & admiration,

Amen indeed.

KARLA ... WELL SAID!

AMEN TO BOTH!

P.S. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! TOM.

we remember you always...and that you did serve until you were injured. We remember you always and all service men and women who still serve now.

I voted, and I can only pray and hope that the people voted with their heads and not just their hearts. Hopefully this will mean REAL change!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

And thank you for YOUR service; I can't forget!

When we go to the voting booths today, let us not forget that it was a Republican President and a Republican House & Senate that put American Soldiers in harms way in Iraq & Afghanistan without making the proper provisions for the countless wounded heros returning home.

You have the right attitude on both poems. As for the second one, I don't think the Tea Party elected, on the Republican ticket, will be in a mood to do other than what they said. I wrote more about he here, Karla. http://jerrypatbolton.wordpress.com/

Karla, these two poems go hand-in-glove my dear friend. Without all of those esceptional young men and women serving selflessly and the veterans, living and deceased, who came before them. Our nation would never have existed nor this long endured. I/we can never thank them or honor them enough. And we the people are the ultimate power in these unique United States of America. It is our will that shall be done in the final analysis. Too long have the majority of Americans permitted the special interests to dictate to corrupt career politicians what our nation represents and how it functions. And we the people are slowly but surely becoming aroused, aware and involved in the business of our nation. Our single greatest leverage is the individual vote at the polls on each and every election day. Not simply when things are not going our way. Love and peace to you my dear friend. Jon Michael

Karla, two very powerful poems...and I love the title of the first one posted, and I will never forget!
