They Did Their Share


On Veteran’s Day we honor
Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.


Some of them were drafted;
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;


In the jungle or the desert,
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.


Some came back; some didn’t.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.


No matter what the duty,
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.


Let every veteran be honored;
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.


We owe so much to them,
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.

every branch from the past
and to those whom serve it now.

in good condition, after their missions
and let them know how much
we've all been missing them.

and let them know how much they all mean to us.

so we can let them all know
just how much we've all been missing them!

Bring them all back safe and sound

Comrades in Arms

Tonight, we gather to honor the birthday of the Corps
Our ranks are thinned, some in peace, some in war
Those assembled are your friends, having borne similar training as you
Those memories will never leave our mind, no matter what we do

Look around you and share your stories with them-laugh and smile
Knowing some are whoppers and grow all the while
Still, you embellish your experiences with great flair and style
Like crawling on your knees with the pack on your back, that last dusty mile

Those of us who date back fifty years, or more, have a concern. Who is to carry on ?
Who, in ten years will fill this chair--who will tell those stories when we are gone ?
Fear not, I am here to say there are tested veterans coming along the way
They will take our place and carry the banner unfurled some fine day

Their training was the same, their duty and honor as strong as ours ever will be
Fear not, we will be replaced by women and men of which we will be proud, you will see
The honor of our Corps will always be held high for all to admire
Each one has been tested by the steel forge of fire

Lift your glass and join me in a toast to those who have fallen in days gone by
To those who have joined us to celebrate this day--and those yet to die
Ours is a comradeship others admire for it's strong resolve, love of country-determined will-and rigid spine
The strength of this brotherhood is very hard to define

God has saved the greatest honor which he will kindly bestow
On those who have served their time in "Hell" where other feared to go
When we take our last journey to Heaven's gate, so serene
We will see it is guarded by none other than a MARINE

Defenders Of Dreams And Light

Between our dreams and the starlight,
your time-line wafts throughout
the eons of wars and peace-keeping strolls.
We hear you chanting a hopeful prayer,
your thoughts of dying young so well-expressed.

Between our dreams and the twilight,
you are transported on the wings of an Eagle
that fly you to much safer places
inside the memory where laughter reigns
far from the nightmare of untimely deaths.

Between our dreams and the moonlight,
we see you in a halo of brilliance
kept alive by our collective breaths.
You crouch behind barriers of sand
while stray bullets slay our illusions of peace.

Between our dreams and the sunlight,
you are the one bright beam
that echoes over the waves of the sea
and into our hearts of anguish and pain
as you sing the song of our freedom's cause.

Yes, you are the stars of our night
as you sing of our freedom's fight.
Your courage always an inspiring sight,
your sacrifice cementing our freedom's right.
Lady Liberty's torch carried to wondrous heights.

A Soldier's Mission

I drop to one knee, the mission is long...
All around there is darkness just before dawn.
I take a deep breath my mission at hand...
For God and country please let me stand.

I will always push forward a mission to do...
A soldier is dedicated, professional, and true.

These people we help will one day see...
The battle we fight is for them to be FREE.

By Mike Erickson

As he stood up from his car, he looked so tall and proud, I gasped quietly, even though I have seen him do this hundreds of times before.

When he finally came to join me at my side, I said in awe of him, "You always look so tall and so much prouder when you are in your uniform, no matter how hard the day was or how long the night."

To which my hero replied, "When you are wearing a uniform that makes you feel stronger and prouder, just by wearing it, it is not hard to find yourself standing up a bit taller and carrying yourself with more pride than if you were just in your t-shirt and shorts. I love my uniform and all that it stands for."

I know how much he loves it because one day he gave me the rare honor of wearing his dress greens for me. And as I melted in my chair at his regal appearance, he said, "I can not express how much I wanted to just break down and cry in happiness when I finally received my dress greens. But I had to stand there and save it for later. I have never been happier than the day I first got to but them on."

I went to visit him last night. He has his own apartment now with a fellow soldier/ friend of his. His friend kept saying, after this next tour, I am getting out. My hero said, "Yeah right, you say that every time. But you are like the drill sergeant. He kept saying, I am getting out this time son, I really am. 15 years later he is still standing there with his right hand raised saying ' I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC; THAT I WILL BEAR TRUE FAITH AND ALLEGIANCE TO THE SAME; AND THAT I WILL OBEY THE ORDERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE ORDERS OF THE OFFICERS APPOINTED OVER ME, ACCORDING TO REGULATIONS AND THE UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE. SO HELP ME GOD. ' But trust, when my re-enlistment comes up, I will be right there by your side with my hand proud in the air."

May our troops come home safely. I pray for you everyday, even though I can not do it here in the forums sometimes. Much love and prayers for your safety from me.


I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.

A Soldier’s Prayer


Lord, wrap Your arms around me
In this hostile, brutal place;
Let me draw peace and comfort
From Your restful, sweet embrace.


Help me do my duty
To uphold what is right;
Give me strength and courage
Each day and every night.


Lord, hear this soldier’s prayer
To You in heaven above;
Protect me with Your power,
And sustain me with Your love.


By Joanna Fuchs

Free In The USA


On the Fourth of July, I raised the flag,
As I spoke with love and pride:
"I’m blessed to be an American," I said,
To two friends who stood by my side.


One was my neighbor, who lives next door,
He's a citizen, like me.
The other, a visitor from a hard, oppressed land,
Far across the sea.


"My flag stays in its box this year,"
Said my neighbor, boiling mad.
"The terrible shape this country’s in,
The future looks nothing but bad.


"Taxes, scandal, indifference and crime,
On our land like a giant stain."
My visitor said, "We have all that, and worse,
But it’s against the law to complain."


My neighbor looked startled, but not subdued;
Then he started in on the Press:
"There’s nothing but bad news; the headlines are bleak."
(It gets me down, too, I confess.)


"Our news is all good," said my visitor.
"It’s just how you’d like to be.
We know what our government wants us to know;
Our press is controlled, you see."


My neighbor spun ‘round and marched toward his house,
And here is the end to my story:
The next time we saw him, he was out in his yard,
Proudly raising Old Glory.
