“Until their feet stand on our stoops”

Hi Doug & Skip,
.
Thought you might like this one.  The poem is written by a Proud Military Grandmother, my Mom.  The photo is from Iraq and my nephew Wally is on the left in the back row.

OUR VOLUNTEER MILITARY ARE VERY BRAVE,
THEY REPRESENT THE FLAG WE WAVE.
 
THEY KNOW THE DANGER, AND THEY KNOW THE FEAR,
THEY KNOW THEIR MISSION KEEPS US FREE HERE.
 
THEY GIVE UP THEIR FAMILIES FOR MONTHS AND YEARS,
WHILE FAMILIES AT HOME ARE SHEDDING TEARS.
 
I’M SURE WE ALL PRAY FOR ALL OUR TROOPS,
UNTIL THEIR FEET STAND ON OUR STOOPS.
 
WE DON’T ALL AGREE, AND WE ALL HAVE OUR REASONS,
UNTIL THEY ARE HOME, NEGATIVE SPEECH TO ME IS TREASON.
 
SO LETS ALL PRAY, AND LETS ALL UNITE,
SO OUR COURAGEOUS MILITARY, CAN FINISH THE FIGHT.
 
              God Bless our Military,  Dolly Martineau
