Hero’s They May
(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)
I hear sad stories from time to time; of
all the wars we got involved with and how they were such
terrible crimes.
Money, oil and domination to name a few, misunderstood
intentions muttered by you. But what you may not know or
you don’t understand, is a story of our magnificent
Constitution and of our great land.
If only you had paid attention to our history. I am sure
if you had you would tearfully agree, my countries
battles were paid with a high price you see, because the
cost of freedom is not and will never be free. All
things taken for granted, all the things we do came by
the cost of freedom for me and you.
For the war mongers we are which some people claim to
say, I ask you this now. How many wars have we started
and what did we pay?
The first war we were involved in with England then
France over thirteen colonies and a wilderness so vast.
A right to choose, a right to pray I still hold close to
me this and everyday. From ocean to ocean and dock to
dock, this gives me the right to own a piece of the
rock.
We had war amongst ourselves yes it is true over who
would win over our Red, White and Blue. North and South
fought over the rights of masters and slave, over the
truest rights in which God gave. Rights to all races, no
matter of color or creed, the rights of every man, woman
and child, he gave the right to be free.
The freedom of choice, religion, and speech to name just
a few, with a freedom of wealth that some will not agree
to. |

Whether rich or poor our
countrymen may boast either which way we may
choose for lesser or most. From rags to riches
we see everyday, while in other countries the
people held at bay.
Two World wars that had nothing to do with us,
but involved we got by the worlds own request.
England needed our involvement in Germany and
France, for next what the Nazi’s could take
would be their small little land. We got
involved finally it’s true. We fought for the
freedom that had nothing to do, nothing at all
with our Red White and Blue.
We crossed an ocean to answer freedom’s call we
gave just a little we gave it our all.
While we were there and before we came back,
little did we know on our soil would be under
attack. After the battle when it was done, the
ships that attacked went home to the land of the
rising sun. The men on the ships all sang with
cheer, while the Admiral contemplated with tear.
We woke up the lion and he is hungry I fear. War
off our right banks, war off our left, beckons a
call to glory and honor we will give all our
best. For freedom is not ours alone. We will be
there when ever the Liberty bell tolls.
It never ended and didn’t go away, like we all
prayed it would one day. War and police actions
had come and gone and American Soldiers died for
the cause. A cause we hold so close to our heart
you see, freedom is meant for everyone and not
just you and me.
So for those of you who see us in disgust, our
war mongering ways you do not trust. Your
borders were open to the hero’s who ran, with
open arms you let them in.
