THE RETURN We send them "over there" And put them in harm’s way And then their loved ones wait Till that, homecoming day. Tears of happiness will flow With hugs and kisses galore Some see babes for the first time Since they went off to war. To sleep in their own bed And to have a home cooked meal A long, hot, cleansing, shower Seems to be the biggest deal. We all share in the joy Of their safe returning The end to all that worry And an end to that yearning. But please, let us not forget About those who gave their all Who won’t return to loved ones After, they answered the "call". Let’s take a moment to give thanks For, their supreme, sacrifice And to all those loved ones Who have paid the highest price. 1-23-2004 Del "Abe" Jones |

A "thank you" to our troops will never be enough. |

Abe, I'm glad to see you express the words I cannot. Yes, I'm glad to see some home and appreciate all they've given and continue to give. Thank you for expressing it so well. |

(sigh) They should never have had to go there in the first place, but they did out of honor, which politicians don't have, and for that they always deserve our utmost love and recognition and respect! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, God Bless Them All, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
