A very dear friend sent this to me a couple of weeks back, and I want to share it......Thank you Holly :) Theres a graveyard near the White House where the Unknown Soldier lies, And the flowers there are sprinkled with the tears from mothers eyes .Did they really win the freedom they battled to achieve? Do you still respect that Croix de Guerre above that empty sleeve? Does the Gold Star in the window now mean anything at all? I wonder how my old girl feels when she hears a bugle call and that baby who sang, can they replace her Daddy with a military band? I stood there not so long ago with roses for the brave, and suddenly I heard a voice speak from out the grave I am the Unknown Soldier, the spirit voice began and I think I have the right to ask some questions man to man. Are my buddies taken care of? Was their victory so sweet? is that big reward you offered selling pencils on the street?I wonder if the profiteers have satisfied their greed? I wonder if a soldiers mother ever is in need? I wonder if the Kings, who planned it all are really satisfied? They played their game of checkers and eleven million died I am the Unknown Soldier and maybe I died in vain but, if I were alive and my country called, Id do it all over again !
