Down the road there comes a soldier,
seventeen, or maybe older.
Beneath his grimey uniform, his wounded body tired and worn.
Furrowed brow, sunken eyes, beleaguered soul that pondered lies,
That brought him here to shed his blood.
Mid'st agony and gore and mud.

His innocence lay scattered here, across these fields where freedom dear,
He'd purchased now with mortal sin, upon a politicians' whim.

I'm going to see my Grandpa today - we were just talking about his WWII service this past Sunday. It's humbling what these men did and went through.

So even a simple THANK YOU to those who chose to serve gets mired in this stuff?

How about we just keep the one day to honor these men & women, and then tomorrow you can go back to slamming the govt?

I agree 100%. I feel honored to have served at that time and still feel it was right for my country. I was hurt more by the people spitting on soldiers when I returned then by the NVA fighting for what they believed in. Now I'm guilt free and walk proudly.
