Memorial Day 2011

As I approach the gates of heaven;
St. Peter I will tell;
One more soldier reporting sir;
I've served my time in hell.

-Mark Anthony Gresswell

nitebyrd said...: Thank you all. Growing up during the Viet Nam war and now living through what has been going on for years, I appreciate our military men and women more than I can express. We all should take more than one day to remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.; May 30, 2011 at 5:24 PM
