Look up, look down
look all around
No better people
can be found!
The soliders who
protect the red, white and blue
I give all my thanks
for what you do!
The endless days and nights
so far from home
Waiting to hear from
loved one's on the phone!
You're in our prayers
and not forgotten
Remember that when
things get rotten!
Look right, look left
Look east, look west
you will see
that you're the best!

When I was going through basic training the hardest thing was not hearing from home.

Thanks for serving our country. I have three sons in the Marines, one in Iraq for the second time one who is stateside and one who is just going through boot camp. What a heartfelt and amazing tribute to all who serve each day. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest
