The White House Washington March 16, 2007 Ms. Lillian Cauldwell President and Chief Executive Officer Passionate Internet Voices Radio Ann Arbor Michigan Dear Lillian: Number 41 passed on the CDs from Tom Zart. Thank you for thinking of me. I am thankful for your efforts to honor our brave military personnel and their families. America owes these courageous men and women a debt of gratitude, and I am honored to be the commander in chief of the greatest force for freedom in the history of the world. Best Wishes. Sincerely, George W. Bush BRAVERY Many brave souls lived before now, Unwept and unknown by their face. Lost somewhere in the distant night, 'Till a poet chronicles their grace. True bravery is shown by performing, Without witness, what one might be Capable of before the world, Without any or all to see. How great the brave who rest in peace, All blessings from heaven to earth. They gave our country but their best, Those destined to be brave from birth. OUR FLAG Our flag is fabric wove of thread, Carried by heroes live and dead. She stands for justice and courage too, With her colors; red, white and blue. For all who serve her, there’ll be cheers, For any who die, there’ll be tears, For all who love her, life is swell, For those who harm her, war is hell. How many moms have cried before, As they sent their children to war. How many dads have not returned, Because our freedom must be earned. Wars were waged where brave men died As patriots fought side by side. Our flag is still the pearl of earth, Because of those who prove her worth. By Tom Zart |

Congratulations, Tom~ What a wonderful honor from a wonderful president~ And it doesn't surprise me, for you are a marvelous poet~ You just reminded me of a letter I received from this sitting president's father, George H. W. Bush, after I sent him a poem about the war in his time in the White House~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Dear Marge, Than you for your uplifting reply. THE PRESIDENCY Those who wish to be President Must practice what they preach. For their people need inspiring To believe what they teach. Take heed therefore, unto yourselves, You overseers of the flock Or the voters shall cast you out, For your futures are not of rock. Life may place you in deep waters, Though it doesn't wish you to drown. It's your past record that lets us know, Who you are as you smile or frown. If you wish to be remembered, From the truth you must never part. Power corrupts the best of us, When we stop listening to our heart. By Tom Zart |
