Let those liberals who want to immigrate to Canada or New Zealand go... I will always be proud to serve my country. And I am proud of the men and women serving to protect my freedom now.
God Bless all of our troops, and may honor be granted to those troops who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Excellent post, and a sincere THANKS!
Today let me remember
John and Mark, Joshua and George and James and Edward
who fought to free us from England,
Henry and another Edward
who fought them the second time around,
And any others whose names were lost.
Later, when blood between brothers grew cold,
then hot,
there was Gilbert, and Hugh, and William and Solomon,
Francis, John, Hiram,
The McCarley boys, the Byars cousins and others,
some who lived to tell the tale and didn't.
There was George who fought in Cuba,
And then when Europe called,
William answered the call, and spilled blood at St. Etienne,
saving others while wounded,
including the man who was the brother
of his wife to be, Earl,
later his son would serve once again
when the trumpet of war sounded,
and one of his cousins bled and died
on the beaches at Normandy.
Julian too, answered the call,
and saw Europe through,
and Korea and Vietnam.
To him add Dale and Jack and Warren,
Veterans all.
This is how our country was shaped,
by those who rose to answer the call.
Let us never forget their sacrifice.
