"A Letter From Home "

I come back in from patrolI throw my webbing on the floorI put my weapon in my lockerMy body is aching, tired and sore

Lying on my bed, thinking of youThe tears are filling in my eyesUpon my bedside table

A letter from you, what a nice surprise

I open the letter, I smell your scentI read it for the umpteenth timeI still can`t believe its overYou no longer want to be mine

I`m thousands of miles awayI need to hold you near

You`re having another mans childI read it again and wipe away a tear

It had been so long, since your last letterAnd now I know the reason whyI will love you always and foreverWithin my heart and my soul, goodbye

They knocked on her door to break the newsThat her husband had taken his own lifeShe knew he could not live without herKnowing she no longer wanted to be his wife

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

it means a tough person is a survivor.. he may fall and hit rock bottom but the difference is .. hewill see this as a challenge and not stay down defeated.. he will get up and dust himself down

and try to make the best of a bad situation and get his feet back on the ground.

Today my dear fellowmen,You will learn about some men,Who are for their country,More than just someone who brought them victory,For when their nation was in danger,their blood boiled in anger,Without caring for their personal life,


2/6

They left their parents,children,and wife,And off they went like real heroes,To make the enemy feel like zeroes,These men had muscles like Iron,

And had the hearts of a Lion,When the enemy faced these men,The enemy didn't know where to go then,For one of these men,Was enough for the enemies then,The enemy then ran away like rats,Like rats run after seeing the cats,Thus these men saved the country,Giving it a proud victory,The heroes of this story,Work for the world's best military,These are the great and ever victorious,Our Proud Indian Armed Forces!

"A Soldier's son"

Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray dear Lord, my soul you'll keep,My mommy says I need to pray,For many others on this day,

But my daddy - he's a soldierof this I'm sure you know,He helps protect our freedom,I was sad to see him go.

Although I know he's sage with you,

I'd rather have him here,'cause he's the one who always said,With prayer, there's no fear.

Dear Lord , I know you hear me,Way up in the sky,Please protect my daddy,I wish he was here tonight.

I love you daddy!

"The Forgotten Soldier"

This country needs a reminderThat sons and daughters we hold dearWho are so very far awayHave become forgotten I fear


3/6

Our soldiers are reminded dailyWhy they are over thereMass graves and atrocitiesThe reason to them is clear

But we do not see these things

And our news is biased at bestSo our soldiers are forgottenWhile they face this ongoing test

So lets not forget our soldiersWho are overseas for youInstead lets show them we love themLets show them the whole year through

Send letters to uplift themAnd keep them from despairCare packages to keep them going

And let them know we care

"Why The Soldier Doesn't Quit"

A soldier doesn't quit because his artillery isn't firingA soldier doesn't quit because his airplanes aren't flyingA soldier doesn't quit because his tanks aren't drivingA soldier doesn't quit because his navy isn't supportingA soldier doesn't quit when his officer isn't yellingA soldier doesn't quit because his gun is jammingA soldier doesn't quit because his brothers are getting shot at and dyingSo then why doesn't a soldier quit?

A soldier doesn't quit because nothing is worse than dying without trying!

"TODAY"

Today it feels like I lost a part of meI feel like I cant go on.

Today I want to turn back the hands of time.Turn back to the days when you were my little boy.

Today I want you here. In your room watching TV,playing your game or standing here next to measking me one of those crazy questions you always ask.

Today is the day that I have to let go, let goof your hand. You are on your way to becoming a man.

Today is the day you leave for the Marines 2-8-10.I love and miss you.

LOVE ALWAYS YOUR MOM

"Proud Army"

My whole world seemed to be falling apart,

Then to a Soldier I have given my heart.Though no truth is better known,I still have pride even when I'm alone.

I find it not miles that distance us,But, the dragging lull of time that must.

I will stand by his side,And my emotions won't ever die.This is his choice,With patriotic call of voice.

HE IS MY PROUD ARMY LIFE.

"My Duty"

Do not get angry at what I plan to doFor what I plan to do I do for you.My plan involves me leaving for a far off place.

All I ask is that you embraceWhat I see as my duty.

Yes I plan on joining the Marines.I plan to leave after college

And I hope that you acknowledge

That what I plan to do is all for you.It may seem selfish and unfairBut I do it because I care.

I don't plan on dying in some far off landBut I would if that is the demand,If that is what keeps you free from harm.I want to return home and see your face.Even if it is just a passing glance.

This is not a plea for you to return,Nor an attempt to make you concerned.I just wanted to explain

What my thoughts contain.So please understandThat I plan to make a standNot for myself but for thosethat I love and hold dear.

"I Am The Unknown"

I am the one who keeps mothers awake at night.


5/6

I am the one whom she lives in dread, for whom her tears are sadly shed, the one for whom hertears never dry, I am the one memory that will never die.

I am the one who lives to die forever; the one whose name given in life, will become unknown dueto wartime strife.I am the one who harbors the weight of all who have suffered and died, unrecognizable, doomed

to an unknown fate.

I am the one whose guarded and protected by day and by night, with millions of visitorsworldwide; most not alive, when I died, yet, come to visit and grieve.The one they remember in hushed monotones, afraid I might hear that I am unknown.I am the one who will never go home; the one whose bones nobody knows.

I am the one a nation mourns, every day I lay here, I become better known, every war we fightadds several more, of all who have died, I am the one all America knows.

I am the Unknown, I am soldier, sailor, airman, or marine, not alone; I represent millions of whoseblood has been spilled.I represent millions who returned, to suffer nightmares, until death calls them home.

I represent millions ready to step forward when freedom rings.I lie in the Tomb Of The Unknown, I rest comfortably, at peace, I will never be alone, it grieves menot to rest in this tomb, my soul rests in heaven, where I am well known.

"Go and be my Hero"

My girlfriend wrote me a Poem and i'm gonna post it here.

Go and be my hero:I'll Be here when you get back,

I'll be waiting to fall into your arms again.I'm not going anywhere,I'll be exactly where you left me.So go do your thing,Because i will promise,You will have someone to come back to.I love you.I'll love you for the rest of your life,if you let me.Where you may go,I'll be sure to welcome you home.

From, Sarah Harris

"A Prayer for Daddy"

Dear Lord,Please watch over our family Keep us safe while Daddy is deployed.May you keep Daddy in your loving arms, holding him tight each night.May you protect him each night and day.Let him know we miss him and we love him too!


6/6

Our stuffed animals he bought us before he left, we hold tight in our beds each night.We pray for Daddy's safety while he's away.Let Daddy know that we're okay.We miss him and love him and will see him soon.Until then we will pray for him.In Jesus Name, AMEN
