In honor of soldiers who have served.

Scott served in Desert Storm while his wife, two little boys and his family waited with wildly beating hearts until he got home safely. For those who did not come home safely, my prayers have always been with your families.

Dear Soldiers….
You have seen much…..
The sights have
carved deep images
into your
courageous
souls.

We are a part of all that you have met.

You have seen
the valley of
death
where wars
were fought and
millions of
tears cut
canyons of
ancient wisdom
into freedom’s
mind.

All you have met becomes a part of our freedom.

May protective mountains
surround your heart,
their peaks giving you
a better view
of the
world than the battlefield.
May their
cliffs lauch
a thousand
flights…
the dreams
of peace.

May gleaming oceans tides bring the nations together in global peace.

The collage of memorials on
Flanders Field, at the
Vietnam Memorial and
At Arlington National Cemetery
Has made us all hungry
for a safe harbor.
Come home safely and
be held in
our hearts,
our arms,
our prayers.

We honor you today!
