Thank our military
This Memorial Day, as Americans we need to remember to thank those who
we owe so greatly the freedoms we are able to enjoy. They have paid and
pay a huge sacrifice for keeping our country safe.
We are working on a feature for the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi. It
is a fascinating tour, with history of WWII on display, and also many
aircraft.
Here is a poem I wrote a few weeks ago on our visit to
the Pacific
War Museum in Fredricksburg, TX., where I met two WWII veterans
giving talks. It was written for them, but really applies to all our
military.
Heroes among us.
Our greatest generation was all
for one, and one for all.
Sacrifices were many. Many did not return.
All
sacrificed, overseas, and at home for the one goal.
To win the war.
There was no question.
Many went through hell, and gave the enemy
hell.
They had a job to do to save the world from evil.
They are
our best. Our WWII veterans. - CB
