To All Those Who Served And Died.

I Will Remember You.





Come the day this madness will end once and for all.

I salute everyone who died for something they believe in.

Salute

I have fought when others feared to serve.
I have gone where others failed to go.
I've lost friends in war and strife,
Who valued Duty more than love of life.

I have shared the comradeship of pain.
I have searched the lands for men that we have lost.
I have sons who served this land of liberty,
Who would fight to see that other stricken lands are free.

I have seen the weak forsake humanity.
I have heard the traitors praise our enemy.
I've seen challenged men become even bolder,
I've seen the Duty, Honor, Sacrifice of the Soldier.

Now I understand the meaning of our lives,
The loss of comrades not so very long ago.
So to you who have answered duties siren call,
May God bless you my son, may God bless you all.

Today, with my grandchildren we watched 'Taking Chance', the HBO movie about the escort duty and the events in taking Chance Phelps' remains home.

It was intended as an educational movie for the grandchildren. I've seen it 3, maybe 4 times. Damned if I didn't drop tears again....

Great sacrifice in order for us to leave free. Thanks to all who served and still do. Thanks Great Gramdpa for fighting for what you believed in and defending those who needed hope.
