For those of you not from the USA, I hope you will bear with me & I hope you understand the pride that this poem comes from. I believe no matter how you feel about the impending war, we must support the soldiers who are doing the fighting. So here goes:
FOR THE TROOPS IN IRAQ
On this eve of war I am reminded of all those who have fought before.
So hold your head high knowing your doing those men & women proud.
Know your making the world a little safer for our children.
The why of this action is not yours to decide but you go any way, so:
Thank you for fighting the fight I can not.
Thank you for my freedom.
Thank you for my safety.
Thank you for all the blessings this country has given me.
