When you run straight into battle,
We will be your shadow, and run with you.
When you are cornered under fire,
We will be your shield, and protect you.
When you lie through the coldest nights,
We will be your blanket, and warm you.
When you forget what home is like,
We will be your photograph, and remind you.
We must thank you for all you've done,
for you've done all those things for us,
It may not always seem gratified,
but at least to me, it is, Thank you.

That is a very nice thank you.
As much as I'm not FOR the war, we've got alot of "cleaning up" to do overseas...and I'm glad that there are men and women who are willing to give their lives to make this world a better place. Maybe someday we'll learn to do that without violence, but with education and taking care of our childrem by raising them to love everyone...
