| Soldiers fight wars and where would be without them? They keep us safe as they fight the war. Firing guns, flying airplanes and helicopters. Are we still at war? With Isis on the loose? Yes, I think we are. Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing. The songs you and I won't sing. What are they you ask? I assume they are about peace and what happens during battles of war and winning? I remember Viet Nam. I was ten years old when my father first went there. I had a Vietmanese friend. Was she now my enemy? No. She was adopted by my mother's friends. Her "Dad" had been a soldier, too. Do you hear what I think I'm hearing? Do you see the signs I think I see? We still have troops in the middle east. I say a prayer and am thankful for military soldiers. We will be electing a new President and let's hope for a better, more peaceful world. |
