Here it is, almost 3am, and I'm awake. No better time to write, eh? I love my country you know it's true I just cannot say ALL I've done for you. I can tell you about Alaska, and Ft Polk and Georgia, Ft Hood But I can't tell you everything it'll do you no good. I can tell you some things you don't want to hear about Soldiers, and War-time but that's not why I'm here. I sit here and ponder just what to write next About Freedom, and Soldiers and how we are Blessed. To live in a land where some take for granted the Freedoms we've fought for, Democracy planted. If it takes root we all will be blessed if it does not, don't second guess the reason we tried- the reason we cried- the reason we died. To call a man Brother when he's not family To call a man Sir when he's not Elderly It's part of our creed, it's part of our need, to be part of the Breed. A Soldier, an Airman A Marine, and a Seaman A Cop on a beat But not wearing blue His beat is not local, But his heart is true. Standing Watch at 3am when you're tired from a long day Cleaning things Over and Over without ever using them Thinking about ~HOME~ when you're 7,000 miles from it, and the reason you're doing what you're doing now becomes apparent. Baseball, Hot Dogs, and Mom's apple pie. ------------------------------------------------------- God bless the US military ![]() http://www.usa-patriotism.com/poems/gp/freedom_free-02.htm Freedom Isn't Free All down through the ages, Since mortal time began, Men have fought for freedom, Fought wars, man to man. And those who would enslave us, Have used their agency, To try to convince the masses, That we should not be free. And yet the soul of man cries out, And yearns for freedom, too, To live their lives and do the things They really WANT to do. And here in America, The banner of freedom stands, A symbol of America, The land of helping hands, And hearts that yearn for freedom And liberty for all, And willingness to share it, Who answer freedom's call. And yet, the world hungers For freedom and liberty, So they may live the good life, And be all they can be. And we who know true liberty, Have fought the battles here, And also in foreign lands, To share what we hold dear, Defending and protecting Our loved ones in the fray, While pledging our allegiance to The good old USA. God bless us as a people, And as a nation, too, And all who defend our nation's cause, And our Red, White and Blue. And may we never ever forget The cost of liberty, And those who paid the ultimate price, No, freedom isn't free. I so testify By James H. Lee Jr. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thank You all for this. I am in the Army and just got my orders for Afgan. I leave in a couple months for a year. We all appriciate the support from the people here in the states. YOU ARE THE REASON WE DO, WHAT WE DO. Stay strong and keep us in your hearts. Thanks again. Stay Strong. CPL Shandor ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.usa-patriotism.com/poems/gp/we_fought.htm ![]() ![]() ![]() America, the abundant, the place I was born I'll cherish till the day I die. Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground Who loved her the same as I. Her mountains are so tall they reach for the sky With prairies where the green grasses grow. There's billions of trees where wild birds nest With creatures that flourish below. That blue gold called water with which we are blessed As raindrops or crystallized snow Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes While the winds of our seasons blow. There's the haunt of a whistle from a lonely freight train Racing on ribbons of steel With the harvest of farms and from the factories Balanced in a box on a wheel. Some cities have buildings a hundred stories tall Structures of concrete, glass and steel. A statue in a harbor, a present from France Describes how inside, we feel. That flag on the moon with red and white stripes Proves America’s dreams come true. A country of heroes who line up to protect The past, the present and the few. We’ll defeat terrorism as it should be fought Never letting Satan’s horde chase us to our door. Safeguarding our borders and system of life As our forefathers sacrificed before. Never be afraid to be proud of America And march with the brave, faithful and just. Refusing to submit to the will of our enemies Standing firm to preserve what we trust.
