Tribute Here’s to the men of the red, white and blue; Whose patriot’s hearts burned high ... To the women who served us on land and on sea, Some even in the sky. I’d like to say, "Thank you, that we’ll never know The outcome if you had not gone," And to tell you, "I’ll never forget your deed, As long as my life lingers on." For, I was a child, when the great war came, And you just a dozen years more. Some of you fought on a distant beach. Some died on a foreign shore. I’d hate to forget those heroes of old, From the 'War to end all wars'. Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm Proved that men fight evermore. God, help us all when brave men say, "Not today. Let’s just wait and see." For, tyrants come in so many ways And I’ve heard of complacency. When integrity falls in the dust by the way, When conviction fails to command, When there’s no one to bugle or carry the flag, What will become of our land? So, here’s to the heroes and heroines true! Here’s to the brave and the free! With my hand on my chest as the flag passes by, I remember what you did for me!!! ©Joan Clifton Costner *2002 http://underhiswings0.tripod.com Veterans Links Firebase Network Home Page The KITCHEN TABLE GANG VIETNAM VETERANS HOMEPAGE Indians in the Military Links to Veteran-related sites Rumors of War (John McCain) The Story Behind "Taps" Medal of Honor Citations: Vietnam War America by Gene & Linda Rasky's Vietnam Memorial by Rick & Bobbie Urshel Taylor - The Real Ira Hayes N-UT008 Sandpiper'Site: Native*Pow Wows*Webdesign MILITARY LINKS Eastern Kentucky Brigade Sons of Confederate Veterans A Soldier's Last Prayer Vipers Links Page * Vipers Vietnam Veteran Page VietNam Veterans "Empty Chairs" Memorial War Dogs - The Untold Story Of Dogs In Combat Keith's Vietnam Veteran Site War Letters Home ....... .......
