MEMORIAL DAY
Since the opening salvos of the American Revolution, nearly
1.2 million American Patriots have died in defense of Liberty. Additionally,
1.4 million have been wounded in combat, and tens of millions more have served
honorably, surviving without physical wounds. These numbers, of course, offer
no reckoning of the inestimable value of their service or the sacrifices borne
by their families, but we do know that the value of Liberty extended to their
posterity — to us — is priceless.
It is
for that reason that we set aside the last Monday in May to honor all those
fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen who have refreshed
the Tree of Liberty with their blood, indeed with their lives, so that we may
live free.

A poem for you
He was
getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around
the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he once fought
in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his
buddies;
They were heroes, every one.
And 'tho sometimes to his
neighbors
His tales became a joke=C
All his buddies listened
quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.
But we'll hear his tales no
longer,
For ol' Joe has passed away,
And the world's a little
poorer
For a Soldier died today.
He won't be mourned by many,
Just
his children and his wife.
For he lived an
ordinary,
=B Very quiet sort of
life.
He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his
way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Soldier died
today.
When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in
state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were
great.
=A
Papers tell of their life stories
From
the time that they were young
But the passing of a Soldier
Goes unnoticed,
and unsung.
Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our
land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?
Or
the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his
country
And offers up his life?
The politician's stipend
And the
style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that
he gives.
While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is
paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.
It is not the politicians
With their
compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now
enjoys.
Should you
find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want
some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?
Or would you want a Soldier
His home, his country, his
kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.
He was
just a common Soldier,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence
should remind us
We may need his likes again.
For when countries are in
conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the
troubles
That the politicians start.
If we cannot do him
honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him
homage
At the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline
In
the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A SOLDIER
DIED TODAY."
