THIS PRAYER IS FOR OUR VETERANS THOUGH THE POLITICIANS LOST OUR WARS, OUR VETERANS NEVER DID. FROM EL ALAMEIN TO ANZIO, FROM NORMANDY TO THE RHEIN, ON THE ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC AND THE RIDGES OF KOREA, THROUGH THE JUNGLES OF VIETNAM AND THE DESERTS OF ARABIA. ON LAND, ON SEA, AND IN THE AIR. THEY FOUGHT WHERE DUTY CALLED. TO THOSE WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE WITH US STILL, THOSE WHO SURVIVED WAR'S HELL, THE WOUNDED, DISABLED, ILL GOD BLESS, AND THANK YOU. WELL DONE! AND WHILE WE HONOR OUR VETERANS, FORGET NOT THOSE BY COUNTRY FORSAKEN; THE PRISONERS OF WAR, THE MISSING IN ACTION, FORLORN, DOOMED PAWNS, LONG LOST, SAVE IN OUR MEMORIES. GOD BLESS THEM, AND GOD FORGIVE US. PLEASE, IN YOUR PRAYERS, REMEMBER THEM WHO SAILED THE LAST VOYAGE, FOUGHT THE LAST BATTLE, FLEW THE LAST FLIGHT. THEY DIED FOR YOU. AND WITH DEEP RESPECT, THIS PRAYER IS FOR THE MEN I SAILED WITH, WHO WEIGHED ANCHOR FOR THE LAST TIME; FOR THE MEN I FLEW WITH , WHO FLEW THE LAST MISSION. GODKEEP AMEN Frank Tymon Frank Tymon |

I pray that in this day of picnics and fun, we would all take a moment to remember those who died to give us our freedom. “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

 (big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, dearest friend, this is a very beautiful anthem most suitable for this special day! And I agree with you wholeheartedly, the real cowards are the politicians who commence the wars, not the soldiers who actually have the heart to protect, and I think the world will only keep dwelling in chaos until the politicians act like soldiers! (sad sigh) I too salute all our veterans and those who fought for protection and real freedom, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Frank, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Extremely well said, Frank. If the politicians quit losing them and, better yet, quit creating them the world would be a much better place indeed. Soldiers put their lives on the line for the benefit of others.....that says it all. God bless them all... |
