May we not forget their sacrifices


http://www.pressaprint.com/som/wesupportu2.htm


Some Gave All
In Every Generation...
There Have Been Those That Have Answered The Call...
...To defend freedom,
Oppose tyranny
And free the oppressed...
All gave some...
Some Gave All....
They were with us then..
They are with us now
They love...
They prepare...
They comfort...
They yearn...
They fight...
They pray...
And sometimes...
They die...
Yes, the same brave souls are with us today...
But what's more important...
Is that we are with them

I took my 2 little daughters (5 and 8) to the "Moving Wall" this weekend.

As usual it was very difficult for me to do...but I felt I owed those Americans who have their names on that wall...to visit.....and to try and teach my children about them.

As I found the names of those I knew.....and as I explained to my daughters how those men died.....my 8 year old started (on her own..with no prompting) to touch as many of the names as she could...and quietly told each one...."Thank You".

Perhaps, the Future that each of those men who gave their ALL paid for.....is going to be better than most of us think.

This is one of the most moving posts I have ever read on FR.
Please tell your daughter I said "Thank You Patriot."
