Thread: God Bless Our Military

God Bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our freedom. Thanks
to them, and their sacrifices we can celebrate the 4th of July




We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we
should be eternally grateful.

I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.



A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..



I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.


I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?


How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.

I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"

When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.




I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.

I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea


Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free.



Enjoy Your Freedom &God Bless Our Troops

Amen!

Absolutely! I have no problem with someone not believing in the war, but you can still support our troops. My oldest son was killed last year in Iraq. It has been a tough year for me, however I will always be proud of my son and the fact that he choose to serve our country and protect our Liberties, which some would like to see taken away.

Cheers

Military live long

Amen!
