SHOULD TOMORROW START WITHOUT ME Should tomorrow start without me Remember I love you. Looking down from up above Seeing everything you do. If I become a casualty I pray you will love again Whom ever makes you happy I’ll consider my friend. Should tomorrow start without me Remind our boys, God loves all who care. And when life seems too harsh and cruel With “Him” they must share their prayer. I have proven I’m not a coward Who breaks and runs to survive. Always fearing death will kiss me As the streets of Baghdad I drive. Should tomorrow start without me Be proud I choose to serve. Our faith and our patriotism Earn the freedom we deserve. I miss home more than ever It breaks my heart to stay away I can’t help but want to hold you And whisper what I say. My God bless America And all, I love, ”YOUR MARINE” By Tom Zart Author of LOVE WAR AND MORE |

We pretend the song is trite, oh just a used-up military marching song -- but I know no one it doesn't move, including the ones who don't want it to move them... and truly, there is no prouder title than US Marine...nor one more worthy of thanks. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You feelings and words are excellent You join an Armed Service and that is the point at which you give up your life. In the UK I was a Killick in the Royal Navy; something - an iron box appeared and all the officers and petty officers disappeared. Cut the story short, the married guys had cut through the fence to the married quarters so they could stroll down without going through the main gate. The armed services for them were a good income and that afternoon, I was looking at a hole in the fence; on an IRA alarm at a metal box and we hadn't been trained. Your words brought this back to me, because people have to realise the Services are no 'easy option' Thanks for your words Dave |

It is because of you our soldiers that I can stand and say what I feel. I am proud to be an American Girl. There is no where else in the world where I as A woman am treated the same as a man. Thank you to all our soldiers. What a wonderful poem Debo |
