Thank you present and past military, my family and I appreciate all your sacrifices and your families sacrifices. ~Bonecollector~ ~ Our National Anthem ~ When I hear those beautiful words O say can you see Its more than just a song It has a special meaning to me I stand at attention with my hand over my heart I try to listen to the words, but my mind goes back in time I think of the young Americans who died to preserve those words I think of how they put their lives on the line As the words of our national Anthem echoes through my head I can visualize my helicopter making rocket runs I see young men of the 9th Infantry dodging and ducking bullets I see young men trying to survive when they should have been having fun Old Glory flutters in the breeze as the words continue on I remember how we use to work seven days a week I think of all the woman and men who paid the ultimate sacrifice A tear starts to run down my cheek I think of the Gold Star Mothers America asked for their sons and they gave The National Anthem is nearing its end Land of the free and home of the brave After the National Anthem has ended, my vision is blurred by the tears I look to the sky and thank my God for making me an American Chills run up and down my spine, there is a tingling around my ears I pray the United States never has to go to war again Joe Ragman Tarnovsky July 23, 1982
