Selflessly our servicemen and women give up their time, their families and all too frequently their lives They don't do it for the money or the glory or the fight They do it for a reason that not all others may grasp as right But pride in this country we call the USA and the right to keep us free lead these brave men and women to go on fighting gallantly As we sit on our rears, so safe and secure here at home, with nary a thought as to how that came to be Men and women are overseas dying daily to give that right to you and me They do it willingly even knowing that there are many ungracious folks back at home that never give a thought to the sacrifices that they make Not all of these soldiers know the politics that put them there, but that's not their main concern They rose to the occasion when our country put out the call They fight on endlessly so others can experience the freedoms most Americans take for granted They fight to keep America safe from terrorists who don't give a damn how many of us that they might kill - man, woman or even child They fight to keep jihad off this land we call our home They fight for duty, honor and country They fight for you and me
So when they die, as many will, our honor and respect should accompany their deaths They died to give us freedoms yet how dare some call themselves proud Americans (and Christians nonetheless) when they disgrace themselves by dishonoring our servicemen and women in their deaths Their funerals should be a time to let the families grieve in peace The rest of us should take the time to bow our heads in thanks Thanks that there are soldiers out there willing to sacrifice their lives so we could live in peace Instead they hide behind their posters - proclaiming lies upon more lies They yell and scream and protest the death of the one who died for them How dare they disrespect the very death that gave them the right to even picket By picketing at the funerals of these heroes with sign s and shouts and jeers they show their utter ignorance of what freedom really means Freedom doesn't give one the right to stamp on everyone else's lives - it comes with a price called decency and respect They claim the name of God in what they do yet have they even stopped to think that they are an insult to the true Christians of this world? If god were standing before them I believe He'd send them straight to hell for desecration of His name
Why can't we as proud Americans put our feet down once and for all and stop the bigoted extremists who disgrace our nation with their disgraceful behavior?
May the fate they wish upon our heroes be turned around and met out unto them with a vengeance As for me and mine - we thank our heroes and their families for their sacrificial gift Our thanks will never be enough to repay them for what they did but may their families know that most Americans are proud of what they did We despise those who protest their funerals for reasons utterly insane Stand proud and tall and know that your sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers nd fathers did not die in vain May we find a way to use the freedoms that they fought to give us to send these protesters straight to a hell all their very own.
