Birds Over Baghdad

Helicopters covering Baghdad Iraq,during a cycle basis, for soldiers, convoying there.

Whirling wings launching into liftoff,
propelling quickly through a changing sky.
A loud sound, so extremely familiar, 
heard by all, when it, comes flying by. 

A battle buddy, in a soldier's horizon,
from the sky, to directly assist.
Becoming the hawk, for us soldiers,
letting us know, when the enemy, will exist.

Equip to establish, extreme fire power, 
an added strength, for soldiers below.
Plenty of room to transport, and treat causalities,
whom to a hospital, they therefore go.

No matter the time, that's approaching,
around the clock, they're, always there.
Doing their duty, like the convoys,
but doing it, while they're, up in the air.

Being a former US Marine myself, I find this to be a fine tribute to your fellow air support folks. Just please use a larger font, so all may enjoy your work. -- Jeff

Powerfully penned, one feels the tension of combat and sees hope, in the skies - our men and women in the military, ever on duty. Well penned, Sean!

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

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
