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

Amen and AMEN!!!! Love to hear voice of reason that doesn't back down. I know I can count on you! Well Done, Deborah.
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....
It is a shame that so many ony think of theos heros when July the 4th is getting close as they should be on the top of the priority list as we open our eyes each day. Thank you for remembering those who volunteered their life. A great write 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.
Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
