Memorial Day

Protectors of Our Country

You honored our country

By fighting for our freedom

You gave your time,

Blood, Sweat, Tears,

And lives

To keep ours.

When we were afraid

You gathered yourselves

And left for us.

You left your families, so unselfishly

While we embraced ours.

You left without knowing

If you would ever see

Your friends,

And family, ever again

When we asked

You came.

We thank you

And will forever be grateful

I found this picture and poem on the internet yesterday. It touched me. I am so sad,frustrated, and angry by the war and the administration. I just want these fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers HOME now. Until then, they remain in my thoughts and prayers.
