The sun has set on the stern today,
Home we are heading, finally on the way,
East we travel, with pride in our heart,
As those going west, just got thier start,
I think I am lucky, as the news has shown,
Because some of our boys, are not comming home,
They paid the price for all to see,
Freedom is everthing, everthing but free,
This is for them and for those that fall,
I will stand and salute the flag for you all,
With Respect for those we have lost.

Read the Newspaper front page today. Said it was the blodiest yet. 
ALL I CAN DO IS SUPPORT THEM. IM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO GO OVER THERE YET, AND IM NOT SURE IF MY MOMMY COULD HANDLE IT EITHER.... BUT I LOVE ALL THE THINGS THEY DO FOR US, AND I REALLY WISH THERE WAS A LITTLE SMILE FACE WITH A FLAG WAVVING IT IN THE AIR.... JUST PRETEND HE IS SMILING AND THAT HE HAS A FLAG, ITS THE BEST I COUL DDO.... 
RSD, Slap is feelin it right with you ...Beautimously said, and it is McScrappbook bound.
...Beautimously said, and it is McScrappbook bound.
Amen, just hope that when the guys come back they get treated with the respect they deserve, and not looked down upon for fighting a war that so many are opposed to. I will support our troops, and give them they respect they deserve for a job well done. no matter what!
NICE RSD, REAL NICE!GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
Regardless of my feelings about our situation or the events that got us there, our entire military force is deserving of the greatest respect imaginable. I can't believe a single American could feel otherwise.

| How do you think they recover from that, if they are fortunate enough to make it home "safe"? Do they just shut it off?" The toughest SOB I ever knew, my dad, landed on the beach at Normandy almost 60 years ago. He was a few days past his 18th birthday. The nightmares haunted him until the day he died. I have the highest respect for those who are fighting for and serving their country. I just hope the price, we as a country, are paying and going to pay is worth it. No Cheer today, Bob |
