How to erase history!

Seasons of my life

Why Do We Stand?

I'll Always Be There!

I Feel Just Like a Baby!



That's Life!

That's Life!

War is Hell

Oh! Where did it all go?

Untitled

Disrespect?

'OH! My,my,my!"

Warriors

Disrespect!

Beware!

Untitled

Forgive and Forget?

So Why Should I?

Fifty Years Later

All in a DAY

A Warrior's Soul

"Good Life"

"If"

My Only Son

GONE!

"American Pie"

War is Hell!

Daream Catcher

Time is a Thief!

Ode to T/Sgt. Glenn Wilson

Never To Late!

A Celebration of Freedom





IT IS THE FOURTH OF July,
THE GLORIES DAY OF OUR NATION'S BIRTH,
AND WE CELEBRATE HEAVEN HERE AT THIS
BEAUTIFUL SPOT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH.

AMERICA, AMERICA ...NOW AND FOR EVERY
THE LAND OF LIBERTY, AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
AWAY OF LIFE BOUGHT WITH BLOOD AND
STRIFE, AND GOD WILLING IT WILL NEVER FALL.

TO THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE BORE THE COST
OF OUR FREEDOM, WE BOW OUR HEADS AND THANK THEM
IN A SILENT PRAYER.

FOR THEY HAVE BRAVELY FOUGHT AND DIED KEEPING
THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE FLYING HIGH FOR ME AND YOU
WITH ALL OF ITS LOVE AND CARE.

FREEDOM WILL ALWAYS BE OUR AS LONG AS OUR YOUNG
MEN AND WOMEN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO AMERICA
AND FOR WHAT IT STANDS...ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE
UNDER GOD.
