Off to War....Many of our loved ones are off to war .They leave us behind for distant shores. They seek out our enemies to even the score. but some of them we may never see once more.----We give them our thanks and pray each day for GOD to watch over them while they are away. We know they will do their duty for they are brave. To fight those who would make us their slave.---It is the Armed Forces who fight to keep us free. For they are willing to die for you and me. They will do their duty until victory is achieved. If they die (today) their family will surely grieve.----They are my heroes, so young , so brave, and true. Fighting to protect our flag, the red, white, and blue. It is through the American Spirit is renewed and recognition for their sacrifices is long overdue.----Henry Moss ( U.S. Army Sgt. and Korean War Veteran)

Final Inspection.....The soldier stood and faced GOD which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining just as bright as his brass.~~" Step Forward, you 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 on Sunday's 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 to steep. And, I never passed a cry for help though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes LORD forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears."~~I know, I don't deserve a place amomg 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 grand, I never expected or had too much, but if you don't, ' I'll understand."~~There was silence all around the throne where saints had often trod, as the soldier waited quietly for the judgement of GOD. ~~" Step forward now, you soldier, you've borne your burden well. walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, you've done your time in Hell."~~Raven Meyer-Coan Louisville, Ky.

They don't Wear Purple Hearts in Heaven....I lost my brother to a foreign land; I was too young to understand. There was a knock on the door, then Momma wasn't smiling anymore. The man at the door was wearing a blue uniform, not khakki green, the first I ever seen. Momma told me to go out and play, then the preacher came and they started to pray.~~Tears ran down Momma's eyes, and I heard her say, " Why, LORD, Why" ? Father stood their seemingly mindless, all he said was, " We've lost another of America's finest."~~The man hand Momma a small velvet case, inside was a Purple Ribbon attached to a Gold Heart with Washington's face. I asked Momma if it were mine, but she said, " It's your brother's Sunshine." Momma can we send it to Joshua ? She answered, " They don't wear Purple Hearts in Heaven."~~Deepest Sympathy to the family of such a fine young man~~Bill Collins, Louisville, Ky.

Eagles--To bring down evil, some must fall. To fight for right, some answer the call.--To help the oppressed, some give up their time, their homes, their loves, they're eagles not doves.--To keep peace for those in need some go into wars of just we read.--To keep us safe it's soldiers we call. They will all give some and some will give all.--I'm sorry for your loss. May you find peace, strength, and love.--Ed Meyer (U.S. Navy, Petty Officer 1st Class, WWII Veteran)

There beside a grave she stands, a folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face, her brave young child has entered grace. She does not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call, and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of freedom and little else. The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind, a mournful song it does send. A reminder to us all, that for freedom, this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.~~May GOD hold and comfort you tonight and all the nights for the rest of your life. Norma Meyer-Coan, Louisville, Ky.

The Soldier Poem...I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness...should I fail. I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped...but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least some day I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was... A Soldier.~~William E. Meyer U.S. Army Sgt. Retired,
Louisville, Ky.

Dear Spc. Molina, I am grateful you chose to go when others said the cause was wrong. You did not turn your back in order to help in some way to bring about peace. I am grateful for you because tonight I can sit down and eat a warm meal. I am grateful to you because of your sacrifice, I can say I do not like war. This is with worrying that my door will be kicked in and I will be dragged away. ~~Mostly, I am grateful to you because of you sacrifices, I am reminded once again of what it is that I have. For this I may grateful to you, because I can say absolutely the dumbest things, and do so because being dumb is not a crime.~~ I am grateful to you because I can sit down with family and friends and have a meal in peace. I am also grateful to you because if I think a certain politician is a fool.....I can think it without being lined up against a brick wall and shot.~~There are many things Dear Spc. Molina that I am grateful to you, because of the fact that you did not say no. Peace be to yours and most of all I salute you, because well I am grateful to you Dear Spc. Molina~~Sydney Meyer, Louisville, Ky.

American Soldier....They ask him why he's leaving, why he's shipping off to fight. They fail to see what's on the line, all their freedoms, all their rights~~Comprehension is beyond their grasps that someone's got to go. And while every breath may be his last, no fear, no doubt will he ever show.~~Because he knows that if he dies in some far off foreign land, that his valiant efforts may save lives of his countrymen, family, and friends.~~And that girl's picture in his pocket, though he longs to hold her, will forever be carried in the heart of this tue American Soldier.~~Bob Bowling~~U.S. Army Captain (WWII and Korean War veteran) Louisville, Ky.

TAPS the most beautiful bugle call, known as the most eloquent of all.---Not only signals the day is done, but to say goodbye, to a comrade, brother, or son.---A melody so hauntingly profound, a piercing but peaceful sound.---Sounded over every soldiers grave, to honor those who were brave.---Soldiers raise their hands to their caps, saluting the fallen as the bugler plays TAPS.---Rifles are fired in the sky, to say farewell to another American G.I.---Listening to the bugle play, reminds us of the price they had to pay.---The sound is bittersweet, letting go of a hero, to someday again meet.---Nothing is more touching perhaps, or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.---You can hear the bugle weep, where men of valor sleep.---Tears from a bugle fall, as TAPS is played, for the heroes who gave their all.---Martin Bryant , U.S. Army Corporal (WWII) Louisville, Ky.

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend, he referred to the dates on his tombstone from the beginning to the end.---He noted first came the date of his birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he said 'what mattered most was that dash between the years. For that dash represents all the time he spent alive on earth, and now only those who loved him know what that little line is worth.---For it matters not how much we own...the cars...the house...the cash...what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.---So think about this long and hard, are there things you'd like to change ? For we never know how much time is left that can still be arranged.---If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel.---Be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love people in our lives like we have never loved before.---If we treat each other with respect and more often smile, remembering this special dash may only last awhile.---So when your eulogy is being read with your lifes actions to be rehashed, would you be proud of the tinhgs they say about how you spent your dash ?---Robert Mattingly ( U.S. Army Sgt. WWII Veteran & VFW Member from Louisville, Ky.)

I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall. In her hands she held some flowers as her tears began to fall and she took out pen and paper as to trace her memories, and she looked up to Heaven and the words she said were these.....She said LORD my boy was special, and he meant so much to me , and Oh I'd love to see him just one one more time to see, all I have is memories and moments to recall.~~ So LORD could you tell him, he's more than a name on the wall...He said he really missed his family and being home on the special days, and he died for GOD and country in a place so far away.~~I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three. But LORD this time I know, he's not coming home to me.~~And Lord my boy was special, and he meant so much to me and OH, I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be. So, I thank you for the memories and the moments to recall.~~But, LORD can you tell him, he's more than a name on a wall.~~Deepest Sympathy~~Shenita Usher~~Louisville, Ky.

Understand.....I understand why you joined the Army. You said, " You wanted to make a difference."-----I understand why you went to boot camp. You said, " It would make you stronger." -----I understand why you answered the call. You said, " Because it was your job."-----I understand why you went to that foreign land. You said, " It was to fight for your Country."-----But what I don't understand is why you had to die ? You came to me one night in my dreams and said " Because I died for your freedom."-----Thank You, Spc. Molina for defending our many freedoms.
