CHRISTMAS 1959

I was nineteen
Two younger sisters
My youngest sister 5
I held her on my lap
Like many a military soldier
I was saying goodbye
New Years eve
I boarded a plane
I had never flown before
Flew to Osan, Korea, Medocal corpsman
I was scared to death
New Years day away from home
I was working in the emergency room
Seeing our brave in pain
Saw a man die
Brought a man back from death
They served so you didn't have too
Remember our soldiers and Veterans
They served so you didn't have to worry
It is even more scary today
God bless those who serve
Christmas 2015
Merry x-mas and a Happy New Year
Freedom is not won by elections
If is won by brave men and women
Those far away from home and lonely
