In Celebration of Memorial Day!



(Thank you to my dear friend, Mother Reiver from YouTube, a true AMERICAN Patriot who walks with God. Thank you for a beautiful video. Check out her videos! VN8)


I wish us to remember the brave heros out there who continue to risk their lives for us. This is a tribute and memorial video - I will not accept political commentary, but only support for our troops.

This tribute falls short of expressing what I feel for our Veterans from today and yesteryear - I am in your debt, and I am proud of you.

"There's An Eagle" sung by Steve Vaus. Be sure and check out his YouTube page at:

Lyrics:

We are not strangers, To a battle
We know that freedom, Has a cost
We may be bloodied, But we're unbroken
Despite the darkness, We are not lost

For there's an eagle, high above the ashes
Close by the flag we're fighting for
There's a brave new spirit in America
United forevermore

We turn to God, For strength and comfort
To hold us closer, Than we've ever been
We pray for guidance, Through the tempest
Then we see, A sign from him

There's an eagle, high above the ashes
Close by the flag we're fighting for
There's a brave new spirit in America
United forevermore

The eagle's soaring higher
Than he ever did before
As he leads our fallen heroes
Straight through heaven's door

There's an eagle, high above the ashes
Close by the flag we're fighting for
There's a brave new spirit in America
United forevermore

May we all reflect on those who serve, those who have served, and upon those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice. It is their love of God and Country that nobody can ever question. God bless you all.

Thanks to all of you for stopping by. I certainly had a busy weekend taking time to stop by the local VFW, for a couple of adult beverages, some billiards and some bar-b-q! What a great weekend. Thank you to all of our Veterans! We live in the greatest Nation on the face of the planet, let's hope we can keep it that way! As for the dirty North Koreans, too bad President Truman didn't let MacArthur finish the job he set out to do! Our Korean Veterans must be the saddest Veterans currently! If we are going to start a conflict, let's finish it with the purpose intended! Semper Fi! VN8
