Regina  Smith geniesmithdreams@gmail.com Daughter A friend posted this online today, Dad, and I thought I would share it with you.
I love you, and I miss you always...
You may have served in combat or while preserving peace.
You may have retired out or you may have served for a short time.
You may have been a draftee or a volunteer.
You may have served in the Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or the Merchant Marines,
BUT YOU SERVED. YOU DID YOUR JOB HONORABLY and for that I am PROUD to call you 'Brother.'
You may have served during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan, But you served, you did not run.
You have earned your DD 214 with those words 'HONORABLY DISCHARGED' two of the most noble words in the world.
Again I am proud to know each and every one of you.
*Today is Band of Brothers' Day* send this to all your brothers, fathers, sons and fellow veterans you know. Happy Band of Brothers' Day!
To the cool men that have touched my life: Here's to you!!
I was never a hero, but I am thankful and proud to have served among them.
A real Brother walks with you when the rest of the world walks on you. ~ Chuck Gyurek

Regina  Smith geniesmithdreams@gmail.com Daughter Muscadine Alabama 36269 USA BURY ME WITH SOLDIERS
by: Michael O'Neal
I've played a lot of roles in life
I've met a lot of men,
I've done a lot of things I'd like to think
I wouldn't do again.
And though I'm young, I'm old enough
To know someday I'll die.
And to think about what lies beyond,
Beside whom I would lie.
Perhaps it doesn't matter much
Still if I had my choice,
I'd want a grave 'mongst
Soldiers when
At last death quells my voice.
I'm sick of the hypocrisy
Of lectures of the wise.
I'll take the man, with all the flaws,
Who goes, though scared, and dies.
The troops I knew were commonplace
They didn't want the war
They fought because their fathers and
Their fathers had before.
They cursed and killed and wept...
God knows
They're easy to deride...
But bury me with men like these
They faced the guns and died.
It's funny when you think of it,
The way we got along.
We'd come from different worlds
To live in one where no one belongs,
I didn't even like them all
I'm sure they'd all agree.
Yet I would give my life for them,
I know some did for me..
So bury me with soldiers, please,
Though much maligned they be.
Yes, bury me with soldiers, for
I miss their company.
We'll not soon see their likes again
We've had our fill of war.
But bury me with men like them
Till someone else does more.
Remembering you on your birthday. I love you, Dad. May 22, 2012 |
