Marine Christmas Poem---by me :) a little silly, a little serious..

Tis’ the time of year yet once again

When we soon gather our family and friends

To round the tree with laughter and hugs

And to wish this season never ends

Please this Christmas if you will

Say a prayer and have a silent moment

For the men and women in harm’s way, who are injured and the fallen

And also for their families who stand by their hero’s and always will

We all are a proud breed and never ask for much

Yet our men are out there fighting so that you can Christmas shop and such

So please be patient these days with those you zoom past

For their husbands and sons maybe in places civilians can’t imagine where their lives pass before them very fast

All these men serve and sacrifice without hesitation

With pride, dignity and a very humble obligation

To the citizens of the United States

I care not your political stance;

Just know that we all owe these people admiration so very great in advance

After getting on that plane many of these men and women may not be coming back home…

So love a little stronger to your family this time of year
Since some Marine wives and moms are very much feeling all alone and wish not for presents only for their Marine's voices to hear...

So this Marine Corps Christmas I think of the guys in the sandbox Grunts and all
I want to wish them a Merry Christmas and good night

I wish for many secure and humorous moments and a watchful eye from the man on their left and right

Be aware Marines but even more important be accurate and observant

And when the time comes I wish them sweet respite and a care package from home and many long lost ‘cousins’…

For the fallen Marines who have gone to be with the angels in Heaven

Their story is of heroic tales Americans should always remember

We all owe a lot to each and every Hero

So the least we can do is show our support and pride

Through this devastating 2010, during 2011 and on and especially every 25th of December.
