Sent to me in email I thought I would share it here:

A Veteran Died Today

He was getting old and paunchy, and his hair was falling fast;
and he sat around the post home, telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he had fought in the deeds that he had done;
sharing exploits with his buddies, all were heroes, everyone.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,
all his comrades listened, for they know whereof he spoke.

But, we'll hear his tales no longer, for ol' Virgil has passed away,
and the world's a little poorer, for a VETERAN DIED TODAY.

No, he won't be mourned by many, just his children, family and
friends, for Virgil lived a plain and ordinary sort of life.

He held a job, raised a family and quietly went his way,
and the world won't note his passing, 'tho a VETERAN DIED TODAY.

See, when politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,
while thousands note their passing, and proclaim that they were great.

Their life stories are grandly told, from the time they were young,
but the passing of a Veteran goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land,
some jerk who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary person, who in times of war and strife,
goes off to serve this Country and offers up his life?

Now, the politician's salary and the style in which he lives
are sometimes disproportionate to the services he gives.

While the ordinary Veteran, who offered up his all,
is paid off with a medal and, perhaps, a pension small.

It's so easy to forget them, for it was so long ago,
that our Virgils, Jims and Larrys went to battle, that we know.

It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,
who won for us the freedom that our Nation now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger, with an enemy at hand,
would you really want some "cop out" with his wishy-washy stand?

Or, would you want a Veteran who swore he would defend
GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY, and would fight until the end.

Yes, he was just a common Veteran and his ranks are growing thin,
but his presence still reminds us, we may need his kind again.

For when foreigners are in trouble, then the Military's part,
is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

So, if we cannot do him honor, while he's here to hear the praise,
then at least let's pay him homage at the ending of his days.

Perhaps a simple headline in the paper that might say:

Thank you for the things we cannot see and the sacrifices made by you and your families.

This is my list I hope and pray it does not grow. Losing one best friend is enough. Let alone two family namesakes. ]]> festus http://www.usacarry.com/forums/military-veterans/10251-you-take-pause-nov-11th.html Golden Corral - Free Dinner to Military Personnel Nov 16th http://www.usacarry.com/forums/military-veterans/10246-golden-corral-free-dinner-military-personnel-nov-16th.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:58:28 GMT any prior service or current member of the armed forces is able to receive a free dinner at Golden Corral on November 16th according to a flyer I saw... any prior service or current member of the armed forces is able to receive a free dinner at Golden Corral on November 16th according to a flyer I saw last night.
