Are you for or against him fighting sacrifing his freedom for ours Lay down your differences as he lays down his head tonight Do you realize how much we take for granted he doesn't complain he's thankful to be alive another day Are you? Do you find yourself more selfish than thankful It was his choice to serve you to serve our freedom he takes pride in the lives he's protecting Are you for him or against him Is he in your prayers like you are in his Lay down your differences as he lays down tonight He doesn't regret one moment Don't take life for granted just remember that solider a brother a mother a son a daughter a husband a wife and remember all those who sacrificed their lives for you If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

The flow was a little rough but I think it suits the poem well. |

"just remember that solider a brother a mother a son a daughter a husband a wife and remember all those who sacrificed their lives for you" God bless our men and women in uniform! "The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers." |

Kristen~ I'm for him and the other fine soldiers of our country~ May he be kept safe to return to the family~ You can let him know that I join others in appreciating ALL they do to defend our country and keep us safe and free~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I am very much 'for him' and for all the soldiers in Iraq, Afganistan, the US, and other parts of the world. They are heroes - volunteers who have given up so much. They are amazing people - and I am very grateful for every soldier who serves. A |

Ceinwyn - I'm very much FOR him. I understand what you're going through, for I have a younger brother who is serving his 3rd time in Iraq since the war started. I've got two other brothers in the military, also, but so far, they're still here on home territory. I've got every one of our soldiers in my thoughts on a daily basis. |

Kris, I am FOR all those who serve, honour, and protect! It must be unbelievably difficult for them to carry out such harrowing patriotic duties. I wish we could bring them all home safely NOW. I thank my lucky stars that I do not have a loved one over there on treacherous foreign soil. You wrote with such passion and I could feel your angst in the pit of my stomach. God bless them all ~ and you, Love, Peace, & Harmony, Linda |
