With their HONOR

Poet K. A. Steffek writes: 

As I sat and watched the Fort Hood memorial, eyes full of tears, and Heart broken. I watched the injured, as they slowly climbed down the stairs, then looked at the 13 sets of boots, helmets, dog tags and rifles, I then became angry.

But then I thought about our soldiers and all that they are willing to sacrifice, Including everything they have, even their lives, for me, and millions of others. I thought about although we had experienced another TERROR attack on American soil. That here were these proud men and women, a lot who had either witnessed or were victims of the attack, Ready to again defend us! And the world wonders why we are such a Proud nation? Look at what we have and enjoy, due to the United States military! And the anger was gone, Now I know I will shed more tears over any and every American Soldier, who comes home to Dover. For never will Any American Soldier ever die in vain! Not as long as Americans remember what it is, that they do for us, Every day of our lives! God Bless The United States Military! So as we move closer to the Holidays, I ask you to read the following, feel free to share it, and keep our military in your hearts, thoughts and prayers! For as we sit down to eat, With our families, They will be standing a post somewhere, protecting our beliefs, our freedoms, and sacrificing for us!!

With their HONOR

Without these brave men and women,
There would be no Christmas, no spending of time,
Not under the American flag would we fly!
The freedoms, The liberties,
That which we know.
None would happen,
If they didn’t GO!
With Their HONOR,
And our right to CHOOSE.
These are the things,
That they give to me,
And to you.
So this Holiday,
And all of the rest too.
As you’re warm and so safe,
Thank an American Soldier,
They have what it takes.
They stand for our nation,
And they know they may fall!
But for us,
They will sacrifice all.
With their HONOR,
Their lives, they will always stake.
Just for the citizens of,
The United States!

Dedicated to our brave soldiers,
Especially those lost at Fort Hood, Texas,
If it wasn’t for you and your sacrifice,
I would not have the freedom,
To do what I love.
Thank you!
