A marvelous poem posted on Mudville Gazette. Guess who the "Unconquered Men" are?
| Quote: | From Swift Boats they did brave the flood,
Their flag to autumn’s breeze unfurled,
Here again, embattled sailors stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
Their foe no longer silence kept,
Believing that the veteran sleeps;
That Time’s assured his treason‘s swept
Down history’s stream which backward creeps.
Tween hostile banks of media’s stream,
They fixed the sights of truth’s own gun;
Seeking but their honor to redeem,
And stay the march of Judas’ son.
Their Spirit made these warriors dare
To keep their nation’s honor free,
But Time and Nature will declare
Their honored place in history.

AMEN brother
Can we get a musician to put it to music? Perhaps it will get some air play.

Thanks, Scott, for sharing that beautiful poem.
I think it represents every soldier that has served bravely in our nation's military and especially those who came home to an even greater conflict here.
I love you all, whether you were dodging bullets, flying missions or cooking meals in the Mess Halls. I love you for serving your country whether you were drafted or you volunteered - you served.
If I have never thanked you before - I thank you now. God bless you all and your brave families. You have honored your country and her citizens.
