I AM A SOLDIER
My blood runs through the soil of many countries.
I
have gasped my last breath on many a desolate stretch of beach. For you...all
of you, the children who play in the parks, and the mothers who watch over
them, the fathers who struggle to sustain them.
There
are those here who have belittled and reviled me, who have made a mockery of me
and what I stand for. You, also, have I suffered and died for. I withstood
heat, insects and disease so the right to dissent would be yours.
I
endured the pain and terror of battle and the maiming of my body to ensure that
you might worship as you please. I died in agony in order that you, no matter
who or what you are, have the freedom to choose your own destinies.
AND
I WOULD DO IT AGAIN because I believe in the ideals that made this country what
it is today... FREE. I love her with a deep and abiding love that transcends mere
physical pain.
I
AM A SOLDIER: Pray that I will always be there, for if I disappear from
this country, so will you.

I GOT YOUR BACK
I am a small and precious child, my dad's been sent to fight.
The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back.
I
am a caring mother. My son has gone to war.
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back.
I
am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack.
My heart may break, but I am proud. My husband's got your back.
I am a soldier. Serving proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back.

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 & Pray “God Bless Our Troops!”
Because Freedom ISN’T FREE!!!
