Forward Ever Forward » Memorial Day http://www.forwardeverforward.com Where Forwarded Emails Come To Rest Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:16:16 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 FW: Freedoms’ Memorial http://www.forwardeverforward.com/fw-freedoms-memorial/ http://www.forwardeverforward.com/fw-freedoms-memorial/#comments Tue, 31 May 2011 03:46:51 +0000 Paul http://www.forwardeverforward.com/?p=9262

Army Pfc. David T. Miller is carried during his funeral service at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va.,.

This day is set aside
to honor those
who took the chance to die.

But they have died in vain
if we ever forget
the reason why.

Freedom can be like time
slipping away
before we even know.

But we all have the choice
more, a duty
to battle freedoms’ foe.

Let us give thanks this day
to all those brave
who paid the highest cost.

Not take it for granted
and realize
it easily could be lost.

THE FINAL INSPECTION
The Soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
“Step forward now, Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?”
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
“No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place,
A mong the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears
If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
“Step forward now, you Soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.”

the VETERAN,
not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is
the VETERAN,
not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.


It is
the VETERAN,
not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.


It is
the VETERAN,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is
the VETERAN
who salutes the Flag,


It is
the VETERAN
who serves
under the Flag,


ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD,
AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

Makes you proud to be an AMERICAN!!!!

REMEMBER TO FLY YOUR AMERICAN FLAG
