May the deep and abiding love of our Father, be with each and every one of our veterans today and every day.

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when

our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

I wondered if it'd be ok to post something I read in the Newspaper today about veterans...or is that stealing? How bout I quote? Here goes...please let me know if I have to take it off the site...I'm not familiar with plagerism rules...

This was in the "Dear Abbey" (that I normally don't read!) and are excerpts from a poem written by Cortland E. Richmond from Califarnia...

"Do not give medals for our death;

Where we are, we cannot know.

Do not raise flags and hold parades;

Where we are, flags don't go.

We ask but one thing of our land,

Of you who had us fight:

'Please be worth the blood we shed,

Be worth the eternal night.'

We are the currency you spend

For freedom, fear and oil;

Our blood, the coin you pay,

Dark on some foreign soil."

------------------

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, and His love endures forever!

That poem is very heart felt.

I lost several friends over the years both in peace time training and in battles that took place both above board and in the spec ops area.

There is a comment aboout heros that is brought to the front of my mind.

Dont call me a Hero I am but a survivor all the heros I know gave thier lives so that others would survive.(Author Unknown)
