Beautiful post and that poem always brings tears.
God bless you, 2111USMC! Are you the author of this beautiful poem? I want to send this on to my family and friends. Merry Christmas from a military mom. :)
I have sent an e-mail to all of our family and friends with the link to AnySoldier.com. God bless our military men and women, and their families & friends!
BTTT
I challenge anyone to read this poem without crying. My "Distinguised Marines" stamp sheet for my Christmas cards propped here in front of me suddenly got very bleary. The bad news, and the good news, is that they disappeared from our post office almost immediately. Unfortunately no more will be printed--the P.O. will be too busy printing out those .39 stamps. Our freedom is etched on the faces of these brave men.
May God bless and keep all our troops safe.
Thank you! The troops love that site. They have been bombarded with care packages from home and it has really lifted the spirits of many soldiers.
I get weepy EVERY TIME I read this poem. And, my Marine will be spending another Christmas in Iraq.
BTTT!
Please ping me whenever you post something like this. I love our military, and take every opportunity to do things for them, whether it is a letter or care package or money, or simply letting others know how they can support our wonderful troops.
I will add that site to my profile page, and will send it on.
Actually, I did think of you (like that's a surprise) and was going to ping you but I was so freepin' busy yesterday I sort of...forgot. Forgive me.
Anysoldier.com is such a great site. Very well run and maintained. The troops love it because it is easy for them and it works.
If/when I get anything back from the guys in the CH-53 squadron, I'll post it either here or on a new thread...depending on the content. I imagine they are a little busier less able to pop off a letter than the support group we just heard from.
Thank you for that special poem , my eyes are all teared up now. Let's all try and do a good job in doing whatever we can, to help all of our warriors, young and old, we love you!!!

Both poems were wonderful and touching. Had to run for the tissues! Bless them all!
