~THE COST OF A SOLDIER~
A True Soldier is tough indeed
standing tall and strong when there is a need
A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow
Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow
When a Soldier is wounded in battle
the nerves of his buddies it does rattle
When news reaches friends and family at home
how their worries and minds begin to roam
A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best
stopping him from much needed healing rest
A wounded Soldier wonders will he ever be alright,
trusting in God that he'll make it through the night.
When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair
the loss and pain felt can not compare
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
they assure our freedom will always apply
To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds
Dear Lord please watch over our Military today
as they work to keep our freedom everyday
For the wounded and the families of Soldiers lost
Please Bless them with abundant love, for we know not the cost.
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
our support for them we should never deny

When a soldier falls, this country bleeds. There is no transfusion to help our nation either. We can not continue to throw our soldiers on a problem that will never end. I am an Air Force brat and remember much about many conflicts in this nation. If we are to continue to loose our best in numbers as you have related, lets win this one and put it to bed. No more Viet Nam's.

Yes
the numbers make me sick, too
sometimes i think..... this is a dating haha! site.... and this info does not inspire another dance...
damn!
i'd like to dance some!
yet... elections... wake up calls... lemmings dancing into the sea...
can the serious mix with the light?
does this reminder stop all other communication?
comedy and lighthearted stuff is part of the healthy thing...
maybe i should go on a joke hunt?
when's the election?
are the veterans needs being met or is that not important... in light of the... what?
no one answers...
i have work to tend to....
be well...
i hope there's a way.
just trying to find the landmarks...
scout it out.
where we gonna' camp?
where are the kids going to be safe?
