 Just Because they believed in freedom, just because they wanted a better world; they went to war for our liberty; and our homeland. These were our fathers our brothers, our uncles, our sons, our lovers. These were our brave Heros. Mothers knelt and prayed for their son's safe return home as they watched the men in uniform approach the front door... "Mrs. Daigle, we are sorry to inform you ---" All she has to show now is the folded American flag she holds drenched intears and a shattered heart. Just because they were honorable and dutiful and answered the call they wrote their names in bloodshed on our battlefields. Just because of their gallantry, we were liberated. Just because they are no longer here, we’ll remember their courageous dedication; we'll listen to the stories told by those fortunate enough to have come back home. May the peace you all longed and fought for be with you now in heaven. Know that we grieve your passing and we thank you for your deeds of Heroism. A Salute to our Heros; for thosewho faught and came back home, and for all who died for the cause; just because. By ~ Madeleine Armstrong aka Maggie ~ Wishing everyone a Happy Memorial Day weekend ~ |
