Being a Viet Nam Era (that means stateside) Vet, I am sensitive to the need to be supported by the public. The majority of the public supported us but they were silent. I will not be silent about how much I owe our troops.

Those people who say "I support the troops but not the effort in Iraq or Afghanistan or George Bush", are walking the fence. How can I support you, but not support what you do?

OK soapbox away. two more.

Veterans Day

Our country called, they answered,
They risked their lives, their all.
They fought on land, sea, and air,
They saw their buddies fall.
Yet on they fought and they prevailed,
We owe our gratitude.
So give thumbs up, to them, the Vets,
God grant them solitude.
We can’t repay all that they gave,
So show them that you care.
They fought for us, to all be free,
Be thankful they were there.

Thanksgiving 2003

As we sit in our dining rooms,
And give our thanks to Him.
Let’s say a prayer, for those abroad,
Our troops, remember them.
They fight for us and we must know,
They’d like to be home too.
To see their families and their friends,
And eat some turkey too.
So bow your head and say a prayer,
That home they soon will be.
God keep them safe, and guide their paths,
They fight to keep us free.

I hope that, since 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, that many more people in the general public feel a genuine connection to their Armed Forces.
