Great poem, thank you.

I've been passing a recently erected billboard on my way to work lately. It's an ad for the Navy and reads - Life, liberty, and pursuit of all who threaten it. It brings me to tears. God bless our troops.

Thanks,

I guess that is what seperates us from the terrorists and those who wish to do others harm.

WE remember and Honor those who dedicate their lives for a Positive, creative goal; not distructive, power hungry, dictatorial one.

This poem hits me more because no-one from this current generation will ever know the hardships , scarifices, and service back in World War Two, Korea, and Vietnam were nothing like they are today.

It's in reading on the Nobility reflected in this poem
that touches my heart too. As also when I read the War Memorial Threads posted here in the forums too. Heart-reaching and professionally done, with care and kindness.

Chris
