Heros

[thedoug]

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

FROM THE CITIZEN SOLDIERS THAT DEFENDED CONCORD AND LEXINGTON

TO THE DEFENDERS OF WASHINGTON

TO THE BROTHERS THAT WORE BLUE OR GRAY

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

FROM THE DOUGHBOYS ON FLANDERS FIELD

TO THE SOLDIERS, SAILORS AND MARINES OF EUROPE AND THE PACIFIC

TO THE PEACE KEEPERS OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

TO THOSE THAT ENDURED BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN TO KEEP A CITY

AND PEOPLE FREE FROM COMMUNISM AND OPPRESION

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

EVEN THOUGH YOU NO LONGER SLOG THROUGH THE RICE PADDIES OF VIETNAM,

OR CLIMB THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF AFGANISTAN,

OR SURVIVE THE SAND STORMS OF IRAQ,

YOU ARE MY HERO!

 

FROM THE STIFLING HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF VIETNAM

TO THE FREEZING TEMPURATURES OF AFGANISTAN

YOU HAVE WALKED THAT MILE IN MY BOOTS AND THEREBY HAVE EARNED MY GRATITUDE AND RESPECT

 

AND

 

YOU ARE MY HERO!
