Memorial Day

Take a minute today and give thanks for all the men and women who have put their lives on the line in service to our country. It doesn't matter what your politics are, we live in a  world where military readiness is a necessity.


Here's another contribution to the "new normal".


Send me East

Send me east in the morning
Let me face that rising sun
Send me east as to wedding feast
Though there’s fighting to be done

Let me rise up with glory
And find my way to you
Make me ham and eggs and coffee
Like the way you used to do

Then send me on my merry way
Giving kiss and hug goodbye
Knowing it’s you I’m thinking of
As off to war I fly

Send me east in the morning
To lands of death and shame
Where cultures clash and warriors dash
And IEDs kill and maim

Send me east in the morning
And tell me that it’s true
That being here is meaningful
It counts; this thing I do

Then send me west in evening
Back to family, home and wife
And tell me that the things I’ve done
Helped to make a better life

That's it from here,
