In Remembrance.....


Poem Artwork

He offered his help
his bravery and ultimately his life
he fought in battle
lost an arm, a leg and some friends
a selfless sacrifice he made
to give you and I the freedoms
we enjoy everyday
yet, we don't remember him everyday...

(On a political note: Please vote for the one you know will fight to keep and preserve those freedoms--in honor of the volunteers--and not the one whose claims are only words and backed by the devil and his evil ways. Every vote counts.)

Old soldiers never die
They just fade away
words echoed my a famous General
who is now just a thought, a memory dwelling
within our minds, hearts and sold

Love & peace be with you

Your Political Note Frightens The Shitzoo Outa Me, It Is A Reality We Must Have & Use Our Foresight To. Its Imperitive To The Future.

Sentiments of purity and patriotism held in the hands of God who comforts us all. We will always remember, if not by name, by sacrifices made willingly and unselfishly. God bless you always....

Be always safe,

Bernice,

Not just when convenient, but every day we should honor those who serve our Nation - beautiful, poignant reminder. This daughter/sister/niece/cousin of Veterans, as well as a Veteran, herself, thanks YOU for remembering sacrifices made/paid by them and their families.

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