War Poem
A Sniper's Tale
© By Captain Adam J. Gravseth

My belly presses the dirt
Prone, I am still
As sand covers me head to toe.

Desolate barren road,
Tiny grains swirling are blinding.
Still my scope searches for my foe.

A white pick up truck
A man scrambles to set his trap.
Right on time, just as I was told.

His eyes appear over a scarf.
A father perhaps, definitely one's son
To me he has no soul.

One last breath of life,
He jerks violently around
And left in an awkward fold.

The convoy follows
By taking one life
I have a hundred to show.

War Poem
MY BROTHER
© By April D. Williams



IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER

Where did the time go my brother, did we walk today?
In my spirit, in my mind, you're not far away.

Where did the time go my brother, did we share today?
Fond memories live in my heart, you'll be here always.

Where did the time go my brother, did we softly speak?
We'll share our joys and our pain, even while you sleep.

Where did the time go my brother, with teardrops in my eyes.
I will miss you everyday until the day I die.

War Poem
A Soldier
© By Monica J. Harris

Your Pride
Your Passion
Unprejudiced and Unparalleled
With Bravery and Courage
You stand steadfast all hours
Through Trouble, Fear, and Hatred
To weave the Blanket of Freedom
And lay it unselfishly
Around the shoulders of your countrymen

You are the Guardian of Honor
Of Liberty
Of Life
Your life is your God, Your Country, Your Corps
You are A Soldier
Once and Forever More

War Poem
Because You Were There
© By Jim Harrison

You went away so long ago, to a place you'd never been
To lend a hand of help & strength to those with too few friends.

Though many times it was so hard for me to understand
why you were among the chosen to defend another's land.....

In time I came to realize and grow in admiration
of the love and courage you generously gave

to help protect and serve our nation.
More times than I can now recall, words of thanks were seldom heard.

And even though it hurt you sore, your devotion to us never swerved.
You truly bore the call to duty as a badge of honor & gratitude

It's as if somehow you were saying 'Thanks'
to those who loved and protected you.

So many have stood across the years,
went to serve but could not come home.....

They gave their all and even more,
So peace and freedom more could know.

So, for me, 1 day a year's not enough
to tell you all how much we care.....

How much we love, admire and honor you all
for we all know.....

We're all here because you were there.
'Inspired by and in humble recognition of all Veterans

every soldier, sailor, Marine, pilot, serviceman and
servicewoman, medic, nurse, and so on,

who gave and those who continue to give,
themselves on behalf of others.

In deepest admiration and love for you all,
James E. Harrison

Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in Ohio though.
But so are these woods,
So there doesn't seem to be a big deal here----don't ya know.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

I was deathly ill, not able to post, and was falsely accused of tomfoolery in BrownSugar's thread.


I'm sending the Internet Forensics Police directly to Ohio, sir.

Oh my God. It's not the BrownSugar funeral thread is it?

I knew there was a reason I hated Hossy. I'm going to send Professor Darden another email requesting that he be killed.
