Proud to be AMERICAN
08.08.04 (5:57 am) [edit]

When they do another rocket attack here or I get a phone call saying another one of our Soldiers, Sailors (yes we have Navy here) or Marines have died, I think of this song.


God Bless The USA
By Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I'd thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
But I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
Next to you
And defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
There's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
Next to you
And defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up
Next to you
And defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

That is the perfect way for you to think about those losses. I'll bet you will be glad to have Tim over there with you. The loss of any of our troops makes people here want to say lets get out. But that is not an option so we fight on. My only feeling is I am so proud of you and Tim for protecting us here and those young men and women there. Love and kisses FGM

It takes such a special person to do the job you are doing. If you ever wonder if anyone else here really cares...YES, we care and we honor and thank you for all the hard work you and the other people there are doing. Thinking of you....Linda H. (D's mom)
