Three wars, one conflict, <br />fight for what is right! <br /> <br />Came upon a flying eagle in flight; <br />an air lift of greatest height. <br /> <br />Give US freedom, <br />a kind that lasts <br />for troops who crawled along savage jungles, <br />deserts, seas, and paths, thirsting for their lives - <br />while at home were family, friends and wives. <br /> <br />They made it back, all in one piece, <br />describing horrors, yet all about victories; <br />now the challenge, <br />coming home, <br />hopefully their optimizism will be avenged, <br />not ever again to feel alone. <br /> <br />(Hold the faith. Know that you are loved!)<br /><br />Mario Albert Cepeda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-veteran-s-day-dad-honoring-ww2-vets/
