WELL…..
It’s the start of a new week after a LOOONNNGGG HOLIDAY WEEKEND and usually, for most of us, there seems to be something of an emotional let down after our feasting and festivities. It may be the return to the same old humdrum, boring job or just the passing of the endorphin rush that got us to such a natural high ….either way, we too often forget what we were celebrating and why. Let’s not do that this time…let’s thank God for the men and women in American military uniform that are standing guard around the world to protect the liberties that we just celebrated during Independence Day.
These freedoms came at a great cost…..both in peacetime and in war…let us NOT take them for granted; rather let us pledge our support to our troops and their families and continually thank them for their devotion to duty, to this republic and for all the freedoms that they so gallantly protect.
To follow you will find two poems that I wrote in October 2001…just after that horrific day of September 11. The first was written to honor each of us who proudly calls ourselves an American and wears proudly the mantle of Patriot and the second, a salute to our soldiers who were about to encounter an enemy like we have never faced before. Please take pride in each of these and share them with your family, friends and those you love who are serving in our Armed Forces.
GOD BLESS AMERICA…..and MAY AMERICA BE A BLESSING TO GOD!!!!
Blessed & Believing,
