Freedom’s Song: Veteran’s Day, 2014
Duty Called
Walking wounded now
Scars left to find a mending
Our flag now flys free
Beauty. Red, White, Blue
Stars, to light a path anew
Remembering all
The fighting warriors
Born, so all may know the song
“Freedom Hails!” ’tis true
Sing loudly, stand tall!
Glorious is our journey
Till this journey ends
Shout its pledge aloud
Triumph wins where love abounds
For Gods love is true
Believe in freedom
Not for one, but every soul
Peace is ours to build.

This is a lovely tribute to the courage of our defenders.

There is no way to ever thank them enough. The harsh living conditions, the MRE’s, and the ever present dangers. And even more heartbreaking, the disrespect our Government shows by the lack of proper medical facilities for our injured warriors.
P.S. Did you catch my last statement, NSA? Deliver it to the appropriate channels. Perhaps they will rise to the occasion and walk on hot coals, climb barbed wire fences, jump a few hoops and rise to the occasion.
