Guest Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Tomorrow guys! What will you all be doing on the 4th of July? It really is Independence Day and not Memorial Day of course, but do the soldiers/veterans get remembered in services around the U.S.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeasarsDad Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Know what Fairy.. I really don't feel like there is much said about our soldiers... Then again, this country has gotten so liberal lately much of the talk about our soldiers is negative.. and that is so incredibly sad and mis-guided I could cry.. To think that there are people out there that actually think that if you appease the enemy they will just leave you alone is very sad and dangerous.. There is EVIL in the hearts of man. This is what many don't understand.. It's not Live and Let Live in the minds of man.. It's Live and Let DIE... I should join you Fairy in your political forums. I have LOTS to say on this topic..

Guest Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well, that's sad, CeasarsDad. I mean this. The remembrance and respect for people (soldiers) who give their lives for other people to live in safety and freedom should be held high above all other things...

judygram Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Right on Fairy, I couldn't have said it better, these men and women deserve no less than our respect and admiration for the job they are doing. So we remember them tomorrow for it is the 4th of July but don't forget them the rest of the year, some will give their lives for the cause and we should never forget it. Very nice graphic, Deborah, you continue to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I found this (click here) b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l site of remembrance... and would like to add: source: By Stacie Ann Brumley (May 10, 2005) To the man Who left his family in God's hands To go overseas To fight for another's peace And To the lady Who left home without her babies To stand beside the man Fighting in a foreign land All I can do is thank you All I can say is thank you All I can do is honor you With so few words of gratitude To the man Who lost his life fighting For another He never even knew To the lady Who lost her life trying To protect Others children and mothers too All I can do is thank you All I can say is thank you All I can do is honor you With so few words of gratitude You have done What so many others will not do You have served Us all and I thank you I thank you for the sacrifice Sand in your shoes Sand in your eyes Fear in your hearts of bravery All I can do is thank you I said a little prayer For each life that we have lost I said a little prayer That we remember the very cost Of sending such brave souls To fight a war for peace I said a little prayer that God Will bless your families I said a little prayer That you will return home safe I said a little prayer That you will return home sane I said a little prayer That you'll return in one piece I said a little prayer That you will know relief Thank you men and women Thank you for your life That you have laid down for others That we will remember the price And future generations Will find a better way I said a little prayer For each of you today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks FairY for that poem, it brings tears to my eyes reading it but it is right on the mark. How appropriate for the day and every day for that matter. Thanks for sharing it with us and may you have a wonderful day, but I think it is over for you now, already Thursday. {Holidays-0002010F} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thank you Judy and Talon I live in Israel as you know, so the 4th of July we don't celebrate, because we have Israeli holidays that we celebrate It's just that I have an indefinite respect and special affectuation for soldiers, "yours" or "mine", because without most people realizing it, they are offering the absolute sacrifice for us. This thread will become unsticky tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
