THE WARRIOR’S HOLIDAY The holidays are upon us And Christmas is drawing near But for far too many Families There won’t be a “Happy New Year”. Their loved ones are off at War In some far-off foreign land Some of them are gone forever Not at all, what they had planned. Many of them, “weekend Warriors” Who planned Serving in their hometown Some promised one Tour of Duty But sent for one more “turn-a-round”. There are numbers to toss about But to those Families just, that ”One” As they Pray for a safe return And the day that War is done. They all go and do their Duty Find a special Camaraderie Which only those in Battle know Becoming part of their Family. But, it really isn’t quite the same Especially, on that Christmas Day They think of loved ones back at home Who send Prayers and Love their way. Another New Year is coming soon Another one we’ll be at War And one more Holiday Season That won’t be like it was before. Especially if you’re a lucky one Who doesn’t live with that haunting fear Think of all those who Sacrifice And hope it will be better next year. If you know a Service Family With either Blue or a Gold Star Take a moment to thank them Show them how grateful that you are. When you see a Military Uniform Proudly coming toward your way Give a Salute, say, “Thank you!” For the price they have to pay. As we Celebrate these Holidays Shared with Friends and Family Remember those who went to War So we all can have our Liberty. Let us hope for an end to War So that each and every day We can rejoice and celebrate The Warrior’s Holiday. 11.20.06 Another great piece of work which needs to be shared.
