INNOCENCE OF HEROES We see faces of innocence Upon our nations' youth - But they've the hearts of heroes When it comes to Liberty and Truth. Young men and women of the Service Standing straight and proud and tall - Ready to fight for Freedom - Ready to give their all. Those faces of innocence Will return, all, world-wise - Still looking young in body - But lifetimes' knowledge in their eyes. There are some who will come home To grieving families and friends - Just a memory to those loved ones Whose loss never really ends. Yet those faces of innocence And those young heroes' hearts Will come of age once more With dreams each new life imparts. Another generation born To this world of war and strife - Searching for the elusive answer To lasting peacetime in their life. Why must this crazy world Breed such pain and misery? When will the human race Let young innocence be? 'Guess there will always be a madman Who is filled with hate and greed - Who will force himself on others And plant that killing seed. And there will always be Those young heroes who will fight - Who will leave their innocence behind For what they know is right. Del "Abe" Jones |

It seems this generation isn't leaving much behind for the innocence of the next. Blood is on most all our hands... and I don't see a better future in sight. Hit a mark with this one, well done. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

A good subject to write on.The American nation needs to resolve the 911 happening and prevent others from occurring but the continued American presence overseas has complicated their involvements in foreign lands which want nothing to do with the 'innocent heros' you have so proudly portrayed...It is such a shame that each day another serviceman has to die for the sake of peace in the region when no peace can be had with tampering and meddling.
