For The Principles of the Red White and Blue

When it's All Been Said and Done

Lost Souls of Yesteryear

On theDark side of the Moon!

Cactus Jack and the Deveil's Gold



The Wind Blew

Where were you@?

How old areyou?

In the Blink of an Eye

The Proof

White Paper

I'll Just Keep Walking!

Until You Quit Loving Me

Do You Remember When?

Sometime, I'm still in Nam

Sir, That's why We Were There!

Tranquility Lake

Ole Sedville-USA

The Spectator

Those Were the Days

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Tearful Thoughts of an Old Soldier

Magical Moments

The Devil's Advocate

Singing in the Sunshine

Ode to All the Unsung Heroes

Hey Jack you made it back!

A Moment of Hope

Days of Yesteryear

Now in the sunset of my life,
I look back on all the things
I have to be thankful for…
first and foremost my
wonderful wife.

My loving son, daughter
and grandson.
My faithful daughter
and son in-law.

My friends of old, who have
stood by me through thick and
thin, their value to me  like
kin.

My country, may it forever be free!
This great land made up of people
who believe in liberty.

Now my sun may be sinking behind
life’s mountain so high, but the days
of yesteryear are indelible marked
with memories in heaven’s blue sky.

Day of yesterday that will never fade or die,
for the greater sum of me rests in yesterday’s sky.
