Written by Johnny Gage
In Honor of the fallen unknown:
There are soldiers in many places 
For some, we're allowed to see their faces 
For others, are required to stay hidden 
and do the orders that they are bidden. 

If a known, brave soul's life comes to pass 
we're told who he is and that he's home at last 
If a hidden one dies while he's doing the plan 
he's known only to his family and not the average man. 

He's on a covert mission, so we are told 
He died a soldiers way, and his life was bold 
He's a hero to us, in each and every way, 
because he died protecting the U.S. of A.

I want to thank the Freeper who gave your sister the card because now you and your sis can come and visit us. You probably don't hear much about public support for the military. To tell you the truth, if not for FR, I wouldn't know either that there are so many of us who will stand by you and welcome you all with open arms when you come home. Thank you for your service, stay safe and God bless you.

Diva, in FR especially USO Canteen, you are home away from home! Your sweet letter was so touching....my keyboard got a little wet too. What we do here for you at the Canteen is the least we can do especially from those of us who are not in the military at all like myself. I am eternally grateful to you and all those who have served and continue to serve in our military, for your dedication and service to our country. If I never get a chance to pick up a weapon to fight for this country, it's because of our strong military - the courageous men and women who are in the front lines defending us. So, Diva, I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Your dad is so cute! And like him, I don't go anywhere else either to catch up with any breaking news because FR has it all.

We are all so very proud of you - you put your lives on the line to protect our great nation and her people. I applaud your courage and dedication and May God always watch over you and keep you safe. Thank you for all that you do!

You and your family are always welcome to the Canteen. It would really be wonderful if we hear from them too so we can personally thank them for having a courageous son serving in our military. From me to you, a heartfelt Thank You and may God bless you and watch over you.

It's always wonderful to hear from our men and women in the military. We would like for all of you to know that we are here praying for your safety, hoping to entertain you in some way, bring you some fun and laughter, and just simply reaching out to say, we love you and that we are very proud of you. Most of all, we want you to know how grateful we are for having such a strong and powerful military who keeps our enemies at bay. Thank you and God bless you.
