To Those Who Gave Us Their All......

To Those Who Gave Us Their All

Born to promise - a spark of light,
In our nation's defense they fought the fight,
With honor and courage, they served with pride,
And for God and Country, there they died.

They asked not for credit, but served beside,
Men of courage who also died,
For this their nation, they lay and bled,
Where many a tear was also shed.

Now they lie down in fields of red,
Where many a boot has also tred,
For they were soldiers - tried and true,
And they fought the fight like many of you.

They ask not for credit, but only a thought,
It was not a medal that they sought,
And now as they lie beneath the blue,
I pray that you yet love them, as much as they loved you!

I saved a copy of Ricks poem and have it on my military files.
How's he doing - any better? I'm beginning to fail here as well
went to the Doc yesterday - have to get an updated Blood Test
next.
-
We elderly overtime will lose some resistance as we age making
us a little less able to fight off some of these aging issues.
-
Mileage (age) is catching up to many us all of late - plus our body
isn't what it once was - sadly. However many are able to hit the
century mark of late - if thats so we got a little ways to go.
-
Again take cafe of each - also Have a Happy Thanksgiving and
Christmas & News Years - just incase I forget - which is happening
more often of late for me.
-
Take care of each other - that's all we can do.

He Is Healing Slowly. Still Has Numbing On His Forehead And He Says That His Right Eye Is Swollen But That Is Just The Nerves In His Face.

As You Can See, He Is Able To Post Almost Every Day.

Have A Happy Veterans Day.
