| In your Honor |
| Unselfishley, you left your fathers and your mothers, you left behind your sisters and your brothers. Leaving your beloved children and wives, you put on hold, your dreams, your lives. On foreign soil, you pound yourself planted to fight for those whom freedom you granted. Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost; but you carried onward, no matter the cost. Many horros you had endured and seen. Many faces had haunted your dreams. You cheered as your enemies littered the ground; you cried as your brothers fell all around. When it was all over, you all came back home, some were left with memories to face alone; some found themselves in the company of friends as their crosses cast shadows across the land. Those who survived were forever scarred, emotionally, physically, permanetely marred. Those who did not, now sleep eternally neath the ground, they had given their lives, to keep free. All gave some, some gave all. With a hand upon my heart, I feel the pride and respect; my reverance is revealed in the tears that now steam down my upturned face as our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace. Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave; pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid. Every day, I give my utmost admiration to those who fight to defend our nation. God bless those past and present veterans. |
