Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers,
You left behind your sisters and your brothers.
Leaving your beloved children and wives,
You put on hold, your dreams your lives.
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted
To fight for those whose freedom you granted.
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost.
Many horrors you had endured and seen.
Many faces had haunted your dreams.
You cheered as your enemies littered the ground;
You cried as your brothers fell all around.
When it was over, you all came back home,
Some were left with memories to face all alone;
Some found themselves in the company of friends
As their crosses cast shadows across the land.
Those who survived were forever scarred
Emotionally, physically, permanently marred.
Those who did not now sleep eternally
Neath the ground they had given their lives to keep free.
With a hand upon my heart, I feel
The pride and respect; my reverence is revealed
In the tears that now stream down my upturned face
As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace.
Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave
Pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid.
Every day, I give my utmost admiration
To those who had fought to defend our nation.

As
you listen to the words of Green
Green Grass of Home, it is still true
today in our fight against
terrorism. Unfortunately the
cost in this fight is not cheap
! ! ! Many lives were lost in
the attack on America on 11
September 2001. Today as our
Armed Forces continue to fight
for our liberties and freedoms
that we take for granted just
look at the the picture
below. The guest book picture
tells the cost of war. Continue to pray for our Armed Forces
and their Allies. Pray that
God will protect them and the
Comforter will be with the
families.
