This was co-written by someone you all know. she just so happens to be my best friend thank you Tamma.

I bow my head and pray tonight,
for all the soldiers fighting the fight.
We owe our freedom to them all
So I pray they will not fall.
They are all bave men and women
Who all deseve to be livin’
So I pray that they make it home,
So we can make our true love shown.
While they are out risking their necks,
We sit comforable behind our desks.
For without them in our lives
This country would not survive.
So I pray to you lord, don’t make them pay the price
For we have plenty that have already made the sacrifice.
Amen

There is no way to adequately say thank you to all the men and women who have and are serving our country.  They give up to much and often get so little in return.  Thank you for putting it into words for us.

A fitting tribute to all those with the courage to risk their lives for their country. "When power corrupts, poetry cleanses...." John F. Kennedy
