  2. Wyatt, I love this poem and thought you'd like it:



    Veterans' Day will come and go
    Quicker than the blink of an eye
    But memories of heroes present and past
    Will never, ever die.

    The youth of today, do you understand?
    The price brave men did pay
    To preserve the freedom we enjoy
    Each and every day.

    They were called to duty, and so they went
    Not knowing what was to be
    Many came home, some never did
    They sacrificed so we could be free.

    How lonely some must have felt
    How scared some had to be
    They paid the bill with their own blood
    What a great cost to be free.

    The heroes of our country
    Are the ones who paved the way
    For freedom and the many rights
    That we enjoy today.

    Next time, young folks, you pass someone
    Who may be old and gray
    Remember — thanks to him or her
    You have your freedom today.

    They may dress funny, not see as well
    Walk a little slow
    But they were young when duty called
    And off to war did go

    Brave men today are still at war
    How scared some must be
    How lonely some must feel inside
    Paying the price to be free

    You may dress funny, not hear as well
    You drive your cars too fast
    But remembers all those great brave men
    Of present and of past.

    So when you’re called to duty
    Not knowing what is to come
    Remember all those men before you
    Who fought for our freedom.

    Support our President, support our troops
    Support our country, too
    As they go fighting for what is right
    For freedom the price is due.

  4. Peakah- Sorry; I can only hope in a good way. ;) I don't know what it is, but all of a sudden I’m in such a mood to watch the John Cougar video ‘Hurt So Good’…

    I was going to post my drivers license picture (I know everyone hates their DL pic, but I rather like mine. I look sweet and innocent!) But a lifelong friend (who happens to be a Philly P/O (not Wyatt) told me I better not! I'm going to heed his advice for now...
