Military Tribute to All Veterans
Dad’s Tribute to All Veterans
"I have stared into the face of death and it spewed out flames to engulf me.
The smell of death and burning flesh and the cries, my God in heaven, please make the cries go away.
The pain never stops and the memories are as fresh as today’s sunrise. They keep coming back.
I cannot sleep at night. I must watch over you.
Sleep my precious child. I will keep death from your house tonight.
Please love me. Never forget I do what I do because I must.
I love you. I shed your tears. I will eventually die for you.
I am your first line of defense to keep death from your door.
Death will never take you, I stand ever in the way.
Death hates me and tries ever to trick me but I will never fail you my precious child.
Sleep well in the arms of love while I stand guard.
Ever vigilant. Ever there. I am your life, your love, your protector.
God is ever strong within me.
I am a soldier!"
…Dad
A moving Tribute to the Vietnam Veterans and all who serve.

You must be rejoicing. My wife said she would make me a soprano if I did not quit checking out you blog.
