Heroes Unsung


I just want our Troops to know
that there are so
many more of us here in the USA
who proudly support you everyday
regardless of what others might loudly say
or even do
that could cause you
to wonder why
and even make your loved ones cry.

Each of you
have our prayers too
for a safe return to the USA
from your valiant duty in harm's way
once the mission is complete...
and hopefully never from defeat.

You are America's brave young,
our heroes unsung,
doing your very best
in this most difficult test
for each of us
no matter the domestic fuss.


By David G. Bancroft
Founder
USA Patriotism!

God Is Nigh

In the stillness of the night,
As the moon spreads its silvery beams,
A battle-weary soldier spills out his plight
To the One who intervenes. :angel:

Death has come to many a friend. sad
The struggles try his soul. :cry:
Will this war never end? tears
It has certainly taken its toll. sad

"Lord, guide my steps and keep us safe drinker
As the bullets start to fly. frown
I'll trust you, Lord. Increase my faith; :thumbsup:
Oh, may it never die!" drinker

His prayer ended, he breathes a sigh
He knows the night will be long.
But he takes comfort, Knowing God is nigh,:angel:
And patiently waits for dawn.

By Christine Kidd

flowerforyou i love the quotes of Teddy Roosevelt ...flowerforyou

drinker here is some timeless inspiration for our beloved Troops drinker


sad when ignorant people huh try to criticize huh you falsely , sad


:heart: remember this always and carry it drinker with you in your heart :heart:


smokin my Dearly Beloved Brothers & Sisters in Arms smokin



http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/quotes.htm



"It is not the critic who counts:
not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbles
or where the doer of deeds
could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man
who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust
and sweat and blood,
who strives valiantly,
who errs and comes up short
again and again,
because there is no effort
without error or shortcoming,
but who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions,
who spends himself for a worthy cause;
who, at the best, knows, in the end,
the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails,
at least he fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be
with those cold and timid souls
who knew neither victory nor defeat." drinker


"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910
