Remember Our Troops This 4th......

Post by KILROY »

For all of our other military personnel, whereever they may be.
Please Support all of the troops defending our country.

And God Bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.
We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be eternally grateful.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE:

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 and God Bless Our Troops!

After reading this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen and women.

Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.

God Bless all!

This 4th we should remember the brave tribesmen who lay down their lives in order to catch explosive discs to the face.
Your absolutely right there my friend, so I wrote this really quick one for all Tribes Players who sacrificed:

REMEMBER.....

Remember those who have came.
Remember those who have past.
Remember those who have fallen.
Remember those who have bleed.
Remember those who sacrificed,
when disked in the head.

To all the fallen we honor this day.
To all the defenders we say get out of my way,
so I can grab the flag and save the day.
To all the flag carriers, I say cap away,
but stay the hell out of my way.
I have the flag, clear the way, but taking damage,
so get the hell out of my way.

Come get the flag, almost dead.
My life line is very red.
I was hit, and took a disk in the head.
Damnit that hurts, and now I'm dead.
Due to taking another disk in the head.

Remember those brave Tribes Players who sacrificed,
and gave their all this day.
But do not fret, they will be back.
To play another day.
