I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

WHAT INSPIRED ME

NOT ALL THE HEROES ARE VETERANS


My sister is a single Mom
Divorced but friends several years now
She raised her boy alone
Her son her constant companion and baby
He wanted to serve his country as a Marine
So easily she could have used the only son status
She choose to allow him his right to serve
He for a while guarded the unknown soldiers
Nice duty for an only child
His decision was to join the regulars
Thank God recently he was one who returned unharmed
From his deployment in Afghanistan
Not all the heroes are veterans
Do not forget those who await their return
Wives, children, brothers and sisters
Mother's and fathers--heroes all
And those who find they have to take care of the wounded
War is not glamorous as on TV.
Not all the heroes are Veterans
Bless those who would give of themselves for our freedom
