Title: Who gave you Marxist the freedom of speech afforded throughout the USA Post by: Tylergal on June 17, 2008, 01:52:50 PM We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be eternally grateful.
I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, And then he stood at ease.. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square And eyes alert He'd stand out in any crowd. I thought how many men like him Had fallen through the years. How many died on foreign soil How many mothers' tears? How many pilots' planes shot down? How many died at sea How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, freedom isn't free. I heard the sound of Taps one night, When everything was still, I listened to the bugler play and felt a sudden chill. I wondered just how many times that Taps had meant 'Amen,' When a flag had draped a coffin.of a brother or a friend. I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. I thought about a graveyard At the bottom of the sea Of unmarked graves in Arlington. No, freedom isn't free. Enjoy Your Freedom God Bless Our Troops I don't deserve it, but you who would denigrate my country and my president, deserve it even less, and yet it is provided for you who stand and spit at our military, our flag and our country and our president who still stands and fights for your freedoms as he does for all.

Song: Arlington Album: Songs About Me I never thought that this is where I'd settle down, I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown, They gave me this plot of land, me and some other men, for a job well done. There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road, The man inside he cried the day they brought me home, They folded up a flag, and told my mom and dad, 'We're proud of your son'. And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property, I'm on scared ground and I'm in the best of company, I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done, I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington. I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight, We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay, And when we finally found that cross, He said, 'Son this is what it cost, to keep us free'. Now here I am a thousand stones away from him, He recognized me on the first day I came in, And it gave me a chill, when he clicked his heels, and saluted me. And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property, I'm on scared ground and I'm in the best of company, And I'm thankful for those thankful for the things I've done, I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington. And every time I hear, twenty-one guns, I know they brought another hero home, to us. We're thankful for those thankful for the things we've done, We can rest in peace, 'cause we were the chosen ones, We made it to Arlington, yea, dust to dust Don't cry for us, we made it to Arlington. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB76cYS8Ehw Title: Re: Who gave you Marxist the freedom of speech afforded throughout the USA Post by: caesu on June 17, 2008, 07:51:15 PM I don't deserve it, but you who would denigrate my country and my president, deserve it even less, and yet it is provided for you who stand and spit at our military, our flag and our country and our president who still stands and fights for your freedoms as he does for all. is this an open letter to Obama or to somebody else in particular? i noticed you suffer of Baracknophobia. |
