    “Unknown Soldier”

    I do not know your name –

    Nor for which battle you died.

    I do not know your home,

    Nor the tears that were cried.

    I do not know where you rest –

    Nor the promises broken.

    I do not know your uniform

    And your fears lay unspoken.

    But, I know your courage exists –

    That your courage is admired,

    And your sacrifice is honored

    By each soul that’s inspired.

    And I offer you from my heart

    Thank you, to guardians unknown

    For offering yourselves for us all

    That we may keep freedom...

    Our home.

    Bless you

    Thanks for posting that very poignant poem Dawn. I also want to acknowledge all of our fallen service men and women who have given their lives to preserve our liberties and freedom. Today is to remember them and to remind us that we should never take our precious liberties for granted.

    To quote one of my favorite Sammy Hagar solo songs, Remember the Heroes. This day is for those million or so military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the many freedoms we tend to take for granted. Remember the fallen, honor them, and thank those who are serving or who have served. Most of the males on both sides of my family have served during war time (WW I & II, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq/Afghanistan). All made it back in one piece, though my mom's bio dad was wounded in Korea.

    That poem speaks the truth.
