Hello FRiends! Here's a poem to honor our troops written by 7th grader Sarah Jackson from Rising Starr Middle School in Fayette County, Ga. that was published in the local newspaper.

Keeping the Faith

by Sarah Jackson, 7th grader

Through dirt, ashes, flame and sweat
You are the ones we will never forget
Risking your future to preserve our ways
We won't forget for the rest of our days
Through these times of tears and pain
We'll make it through the heat and rain
By Keeping the Faith
You can see the hope and trust in their eyes
Through love and tears that we will cry
We wish that you could come back home
And we pray that you are not alone
By working hard to be the best
You are better than the rest
And you will make it sound and safe
As long as we all Keep the Faith

Thank You, Jen.

We need to get that out for many in the news media to read. Glad that it was printed in the local paper. The child is gifted.
