A Vital Security: Our Armed Forces

A Memorial Day poem - a tribute to our heroes who gave their lives for our freedom.

The U.S. armed forces astutely
And proudly proclaim
The security and sovereignty
Of the Mighty Earth’s prevailing notions
Of freedom and economic hope…
That incredible and awesome military establishing
Peace through deterrence
And unbelievable capacity -
Serving a nation of ethics and triumphs
To strategically defend America’s voice
And universal privileges and rights…
Coming through the Decency
And Almighty Hands of God
In prodigious valor
While defending the Earth’s excellent core
Of quality human beings -
Believers in their own exquisite country’s greatness
And beauty…

On this Memorial Day 2025,
May our focus shift to the Heavenly arrivals
And sacred lifetimes of Christ-fearing love -
The resolute, single-minded constituency
Of our once-again proud land -
Those honored veterans and service persons
Who gave their lives
For America’s freedom -
Past, present, and future warriors
Of every successive generation
Coming forth as a superior fighting unit,
To the unerring and well-trained defense
Of America’s ecstatic hopes;
A dream of physical, mental, and spiritual
Power associated with the enlightened heights
And heroic preaching of The Savior’s
Purposeful, patriotic duty -
In reverent deference 
To pressing forth greater justice -
And to wear the uniform
Of exceptional importance, value, and pride -
Showcasing bravery and unity
For our strident promises,
Now and into the future…
