Heroes, Every One So many miles from home they lie, Beneath a blue, but foreign sky. The ones who came to fight a war In lands they'd never seen before. Each one of those who stayed behind, Rests lovingly on someone's mind And each one left a family, That takes pride in their bravery. They've earned our gratitude and praise. We will remember all our days, The dreams that died, before begun. The father, husband, brother, son. The mother, sister, daughter, wife. Both men and women lost their life. They answered to the bugle call And faced the battle, standing tall! We were not there to see them fall, But we salute them,one and all!

This is very special to me. I have walked on many a foreign land. I am glad to know that it wasn't in vain. Thank you for remembering those who didn't make it home. Krishankns A bird never flies so high that it can't hit the ground |

 (big huggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart too joins yours in honoring all our special men from before who gave us this independence and freedom that we all cherish now, for if not for them, we may have never had this powerful love for this country! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Betty, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
