This is a day that is important to every American, Canadian, British citizen,soldier, and more. It is a day when we give our respect and whole heart of appreciation to the men and woman of the armed forces, the allied forces, and our wonderful freedom that allows a simple person like me to sit here and write this post without the fear and tribulations that some would have to endure for a life time. Many countries have paid a dear price to have their freedom. Being an American citizen, I am one for many reasons that will never take this day for granted because of those who gave to me so unselfishly, and those that do every day.
I am so fortunate I cannot even begin to tell you how thankful, and proud I am, to be alive, and my flag.I belive I will take sometime this glorious day and visit my friends that taking their much deserved rest
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
T hey never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'

It's the Military, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the
press. It's the Military, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of
speech. It's the Military, not the politicians that ensures our right to
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It's the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by
the flag.
If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for
the Military, please pass this on and pray for our men and women who have
served and are currently serving our country and pray for those who
have given the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
