GOD BLESS THIS HERO AND HIS FAMILY
Brings up a lump in my craw.
It is reported when that first flag was hoisted the whole place went nuts. Cheering, whistles blowing on the ships etc. When the next and most famous one happened, nobody barely took notice.
Did you read that last week Japan changed the name of the island?
My heartfelt thanks in regards to these Great Men of the United States of America.
My heartfelt prayer for the family of this Hero.
A Marine
A Marine is an American Hero,
when called he’s prepared to go.
A Marine gives nothing but his all,
for his country he will take the fall.
When his country is in need,
he is there to take the lead.
America knows she can depend,
on her Marines to be there to defend.
A Marine has earned America’s respect,
America owes him for giving his life to protect.
In a Marines darkest hour,
a Marine will never cower.
Through war’s dark and violent wrath,
Bravery will guide him to freedom’s path.
Strength and courage he defines,
facing the enemy on the front lines.
To his country a Marine is loyal,
valiantly fighting on enemy soil.
Through every challenge and test,
a Marine proves he’s America’s best.
A Marine is dedicated and dutiful,
to his country America the beautiful.
A Marine fights for the Red, White and Blue,
he is America’s proud, the brave and the few.
America thanks you for the service you give,
because of you in freedom we live.
Dedicated to my nephew Wesley D. Swain, PFC USMC
