"I didn't ask for a new poem for the thread today because it wouldn't have given you much time."

How considerate of you ... :)


Flagging

“Oh, this is terrible! The war goes on. We’ve seen that it is dragging!”
So goes the cry, and then the claim, that interest is flagging.
How shall we measure it? Let’s call up random numbers,
Annoying people endlessly as we disturb their slumbers.

Or, perhaps we’ll ask the experts. “Have we bitten off too much?”
“Why yes!” They say, “We’ve noticed that your government’s out of touch.
For every time we call them up, to give them sage advice,
They seem to care so little that we have to say it twice.”

“So clearly they need guidance, and they’ve gone quite off the track,
But we can get them steered around. You see, we have the knack.
Now, none of us has ever used a weapon in a war,
Or ever had convictions that we thought worth fighting for.

“But we can surely tell them where they’ve gotten things so wrong,
And luckily you’ll find that should not take very long.
We’ve noticed there are casualties, and therefore we propose,
Withdraw the troops, and station them, where no one ever goes!

“The safety of the troops is paramount, you see,
And nothing else should matter in the quest for Liberty!”
The rest of us are puzzled. We sense there is an error,
For nothing in this plan would seem to work against the terror.

Our great grandfathers knew that trouble had to be faced down,
And bullies don’t just run away at the sight of a simpering frown.
The farmers who gave up their plows to take up arms for war,
Knew that the ones who served with them could perish in the chore.

And therefore that the thing to do was get it over fast,
And settle up the grievances and then make the treaties last.
To then return to peaceful ways; to cherishing a son,
In hopes he wouldn’t have to do the things that they had done.

To go back to their sweethearts, and families again,
To stand in silent pride because they had behaved as men,
To come back home and build a world, without a hint of bragging,
And sometimes take their banners up, and do a little flagging.

Don't get accustomed to me being this considerate. :)

I wasn't sure what I planned to post until late in the weekend.

Your poem for today brought tears to these eyes. I am so proud of our military and the CIC. The whining liberals do not have a foreign policy. Just give everyone what they want and bring the troops home now.

[JustAmy]

:)

Glad that you have enjoyed the thread and all the flags.

[JustAmy]

Pretty flag graphic.

[JustAmy]

Your flag/pledge is lovely, Billie. Thank you and thank you for making my ping graphic and re-doing the Faded Flags graphic.

Without help from you and Lori, the thread wouldn't be very pretty. Everything would be posted with a border instead of being blended into the background.

Thank you again.

[JustAmy]

Thank you again for the awesome pictures of our military.

God Bless and Protect them.

Freedom
Freedom isn’t free you know,
It isn’t even cheap.
Many paid the highest price,
So freedom, we could keep.
Soldiers fought and soldiers died,
In many foreign lands.
In forest deep and thick with snow,
And even desert sands.
We fought at sea and in the air,
The battle rages still.
We must back our troops today,
And show we have the will.
To stay the course until it’s done,
And then again we’ll see.
That freedom still belongs to us,
But never is it free.
