A sobering reminder

Yesterday I was a the Veterans Cemetery volunteering some time cleaning up and assisting the elderly to visit grave sites. Just down from the site we were at, there was a funeral going on for a Marine who had been killed in the Middle East . Although we did not know him or his family, us old codgers formed a line behind family and friends to show the Marine respect for his service and sacrifice. For every person who has served (no matter their country) there is always a sacrifice of some sort. Maybe just their time, harsh living conditions, the fear that their family feels, and the ultimate sacrifice. No matter your location, I would encourage you to remember those that have served and those that have given their all to protect your country.



"American Soldier" by TOBY KEITH

I'm just trying to be a father,
Raise a and a ,
Be a lover to their mother,
Everything to everyone.
Up and at 'em bright and early,
I'm all business in my suit,
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success from my head down to my boots,
I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay,
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway,
Providing for our future's my responsibility,
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be,
I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong,
I just work straight through the holidays,
Sometimes all night long.
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door.
Hey, I'm solid, hey, I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core.

And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price.
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice.
Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
But if dying's asked of me,
I'll bear that cross with honor,
'Cause freedom don't come free.

I'm an American soldier, an American,
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right,
I'm out here on the front lines. Sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American soldier,

Yeah, an American Soldier, an American.
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right,
I'm out here on the front lines, so sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American, an American, an American soldier

I was just at Gettysburg 2 weeks ago, so I remember our soldiers, past, present and I wish I didn't have to say... future.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

I wish that we could learn from the past . No future sacrifices would be the best

    Quoting  :

I have tears in my eyes as I read this. That legacy for your father , as "silent" as it may have been through most of your life is such a great part of him. That you learned more at that unfortunate time is precious. The ceremony that honored him is a tradition of the "brotherhood". May he Rest in Peace and forever be in your hearts
