Analysis of Tale of a Million Soldiers
Today~ I reflect more then ever before
All the stories shared with me from brave, loving soldiers in my Family
When the call came, they stood up and volunteered to serve
They never asked why or where or who would deserve
The courage and commitment of the soldiers to defend
The people of God being exterminated by evil because of race and creed
Many many Christian soldiers heeded the call
To save the life of Jewish people
Now history unfolds~ seeming just a bit distorted
I keep asking why~ what was lost in translation~ who were the victims
How history forgets~ the Jewish who survived the Holocaust and The Brave United Soldiers
American Soldiers who defended humankind for Peace and for the value of each and every Godly soul
No it was not you or I
Oh yes so much lost in the story
NEVER FORGET~ Yes never Forget the whole truth
The survivors who lived and the soldiers who served were the victims.
The ones who lived with PTSD and horrific nightmares
Until the day they left this world to be reunited with peace
They lived weeks in trenches~ trenches they dug themselves
They slept sitting upright at one end always prepared~
The end where they ate dry portions of food and rationed their water
They used the other end of their trench as their toilet
But with the love and determination for the good of humankind~ THEY PERSEVERED
UNTIL THE INNOCENT KILLING ENDED
On this day~ please reflect on the Bravery of the American Soldiers~. The ones who held one citizenship~
AMERICAN
THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE BRAVE
ONE NATION UNDER GOD
Allow their lessons to Remain forever valued
When you say. NEVER AGAIN~
Please do it with the non prejudice Love
they held in their hearts and souls
Please do not twist the commandments given to us from God~
It is not~ DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO YOU~. Nope Nope Nope
Always keep Peace~ Love~ Unity~ Compassion and
TRUTH AND HONOR
In Your Hearts and Souls~. THE LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED OR SHOULD HAVE
Proud to be An American
Thank you to All who have served for~
FREEDOM~ JUSTICE~ and PEACE
God Bless All The People of Our World With Love in Their Heart and Soul
To All the rest~ Talk is Cheap~. LEARN TO WALK THE
WALK
