YEAR TWO It’s the second Anniversary Of one more War for our Nation Some are still in "Shock and Awe" And there will be no Celebration. More than fifteen hundred Dead And nearly twelve thousand Hurt Fighting battles for the People Of some far-a-way Desert. How many of them died? There’s nobody even knows And how many more years Will it be, that the Blood flows? Some say it’s worth the Cost And some say that it is not It depends on who you ask Or if they paid with all they’ve got. There’s some who pay for us all For they are the ones we send And it’s only Them and Theirs Whose Pain might never end. And whether we agree or don’t It’s a good day for you and me To thank those we put in Harms Way So that others might live Free. 03-19-2005 Del "Abe" Jones [This message has been edited by Abe (03-19-2005 07:12 PM).] |

You are SO right, it is only "them and theirs" that know the real answer to this question but I could take a good guess. Well done, Abe. When ever will this stop? |

Nice writing Abe...we need to keep training the Iraqi's so they can assume more responsbility for their country...it doesn't have to take forever like Korea and Germany and Japan...how many years have gone by and we're still there...France got smart and kicked us out in about 1965...James |
