The Brother(Sister)hood of Man

Cease our wicked ways,
Or we will perish,
Not you or me,
But all of us,
Reach with in and search for what is right,
Discover all we have to give,
Realize the promise that you live,
From birth we grow and learn,
And with experience we find wisdom ,
It is that wisdom,
We all must find,
Or else we have such little time,
We’ve accomplished much,
Yet there’s so much more to go,
Or else we’ll be dealt a devastating blow,
Dream,
Dare t live,
Dare to give,
All you can,
And we’ll rediscover,
The brotherhood of man.

63rd Anniversary of D- Day

To all those that gave their lives in the ultimate sacrifice so that tyranny did not rule the day I remember you.
To all those that returned home broken never to recover I wish I could give you a hug and make it all okay.
To all those that returned home and made it their mission to ensure the horror would not be repeated I celebrate you.
To all those that suffered indignity, iniquity and endless suffering I wish I could turn back the hands of time and make it all okay, in the absence of that ability let me make a solemn promise; I WILL NEVER FORGET and I WILL LAY DOWN MY LIFE trying to make this world a better place.
To all those reading this are you aware of the sacrifice,
are you aware of the price,
are you aware of what happened then that shaped today?

Take a moment to reflect, say a prayer, be silent and then realize just how fortunate we are that the greatest generation paid the price for freedom.

Thank you will never be enough, but from the bottom of my heart, veterans and the families which too sacrificed; thank you.

THANK YOU!
