Pixman Posted November 12, 1999 Share Posted November 12, 1999 Veterans Day "So many dead So many gone We all came to war But nobody won" "I am but a number A bullet in a chamber Sweet, eternal slumber Please, please remember" Pictures on the mantle We miss old Uncle Joe I play with Cousin Steve The boy he'll never know He's the image of his dad Just look at how he runs Joe was such a lad Then he ran into the guns And what have we all learned? How to count the cost? What has his life earned Now that it is lost? Nations of Uncle Joes Generations of Cousin Steves Layered upon our woes Like Autumn's falling leaves But now we must give thanks For their willingness to serve Faithfully in their ranks From duty never to swerve Let us bow in prayer For those who gave their all To veterans everywhere Who heard the bugle call The sun of war is setting The guns fall silent now There'll be no more bloodletting In your honor we make this vow Pixman May God bless all of you who have served. ------------------ Fact is the enemy of truth. - Don Quixote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oberly Posted November 12, 1999 Share Posted November 12, 1999 They shall not grow old,as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning- We will remember them. -Lawrence Binyon,'For the Fallen' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
