jujuskinsfan Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Bless them. If not for our Vets especially our WWII Vets not only would I not exist but there would be no family member of mine left alive. Thanks for volunteering and serving. You hold my deepest admiration. I second that. Thanks to all Americans who gave their lives for freedom and saved the world from tyranny. I would not be here today if America wouldn't have saved our asses during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 ...He was getting soaked to the skin. His BDUs were plastered to his frame. I watched-as he ran up to one of the memorial plaques, picked up the small American flag that had fallen to the ground in the wind and the rain, and set it upright again. Then, slowly, he came to attention, saluted the small flag, ran back to his car, and drove off. I'll never forget that incident. That soldier, whose name I will never know, taught me more about duty, honor, and respect than a hundred books or a thousand lectures. ... That's very powerful. Thanks for posting.

twa Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Soldier, rest! thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking; Dream of battled fields no more, Days of danger, nights of waking. -- Sir Walter Scott, The Lady of the Lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 From Alterbridge : Underneath the desert sun They bid my brother's blood to run Many miles away Hell has come today Fire raining from the sky See the face of fear asking one last time Let me get home safe Before it's too late One by one The brave will fall Life is lost again They gave it all Deep within the castle walls So many grieve as funeral songs Echo endlessly Ode to memories This sacrifice of flesh and blood For a promised land that may not be won Let us not forget the hero laid to rest And they gave it all A price we can't ignore Is there hope in what they're dying for? Fore every hero born From every family torn We will honor you forevermore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
