History
Patrick Henry was a noble man
The colonist knew he had a plan
Until drawing his last breath,
Even until his day of death,
United the American band
I know not what course others may take,
but as for me, give me liberty or give me death… March 23, 1775


JFK left us immortal words
I’m sure most all have heard
What can we all do
It is left to me and you…
Patriotism is preferred
Ask not what the country can do for you,
Ask what you can do for your country… January 20, 1961


Every nation, in every region,
Now must make a decision.
Terrorist must be crushed
Says President Bush.
It is also this poet’s opinion.
"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."President Bush, 9/20/01

2dalimit:  Very stirring poem and well done!
It is especially relevant today, I think, being the 61st anniversary of Pearl Harbor!

Thanks 2dalimit for the history lesson.  Well said.  We are both doing that today. It is strange to find myself having lived such well remembered history that most of you only know of from history books.  Joyce
