America I loved you in my youth,with all my heart and soul
"America I loved you in my youth,with all my
heart and soul....And I still
believe in what you stand for, now that I have
grown grey and old.
We live in a republic where freedom of speech,
justice,liberty and equality for all, are the mortar,
brick,foundation and cornerstone of our great democracy.Precious guidelines and undeniable truths that our
founding fathers weaved and express so eloquently in
the U.S.CONSTITUTION.
Principles to strive for and live by not for just
the present moment, but for a lifetime. Every second,
minute,hour and day of each and every passing year.
Our past and present veterans blood was shed and
flesh was torn on forign battle fields in defense
of these shining truths and principles so others
should remain free.
So please keep us vets in your heart felt thoughts
and prayers for we are growing old, you see.
Liberty and freedom comes at a high cost and is
never really free, For without the sacrifice of our
brave armed forces there would be no liberty.
So,always remember the one's who fell in combat
and the aging veterans who still remain...
and when you meet and greet them tell them their
heroic efforts in defense of freedom and liberty
were not fought in vain."
