INTO THE TEETH of THE DOG


All through history man was born to struggle
Surviving nature, disease, greed, and war.
Since his conception he has remained the same
Choosing to serve evil or good as before.

Our boys and girls face the teeth of the dog
In hot spots all over our earth.
They leave their families and all they love
To protect and preserve what liberty is worth.

The foes they face are the mad dogs of man
With a desire to kill, disfigure and enslave.
They sing and dance to the death of others
Teaching principles of hate till the grave.

Support our troops who battle the horde
While we live the good life back home.
When you see a soldier show them your smile
Say “hello we love you and your not alone.”


GOD LOVES HIS SOLDIERS


Sometimes it’s hard to protect what is right
Sometimes we’re scorned as for others we fight.
Some of us are willing regardless of loss
To commit our soul to save the cross.

Evil prospers on greed and human hate
Always eager to destroy and defecate.
God’s grace descends on the souls of man
Cleansing the impure wherever He can.

As long as man has struggled on earth
Life has had its troubles from birth.
God’s seed of goodness has delayed man’s demise
Thank heaven for his heroes the strong and the wise.

The Lord adores his heroes of yesterday
Just how numerous, only He could say.
God loves his soldiers who line up to serve
By standing against evil His grace they deserve.


UNYIELDING HONOR


Weakness invites moral plight, war and aggression
Encouraged by mistrust, misjudgment and delay.
All we love can be destroyed and transformed
By the powers of darkness maneuvering our way.

When something wicked stares us in the face
To corrupt our morals, faith and resolve.
God gives us courage to defend what’s right
No matter the sacrifice or danger involved.

Evil seeks to destroy the good in man
And silence the memory of God’s law.
It’s up to the faithful to stay unyielding
Defending the liberty and justice of all.

Our men and woman who serve in harm’s way
Are the armor of what the free world depends on.
Without their sacrifice of body and soul
All that we stand for is gone.

FREEDOM


In their new uniforms
The young march off
Not knowing who shall return.
With a proud devotion
They brandish their flag
Leaving loved ones to wonder and yearn.

May we all be buried
By all of our children
Is an ancient tribal prayer.
They\'re so easy to lose
But so hard to forget
Such a burden for a parent to bear.

The taste of victory
Shall soon be forgotten
But never that which was lost.
For those rows of white headstones
In peaceful green fields
Make it easy to tally the cost.

America has survived
All attempts to destroy
Knowing the cruelty of war
And we who remain
Must help keep her free
For those who can march no more!


HOPE TO BE HOME BY CHRISTMAS
World War III

Darling I miss you more than words can tell
As the torments of war burden my heart.
I worry about you and how you are
As by conflict we’re forced to part.

As death confronts me I witness first hand
Just how sudden life can come to its end.
At any moment war can consume and destroy
Myself, my dreams, my enemy, my friend.

Determined though fearful I dream of home
Remaining focused, steadfast and whole.
Praying for family, country and comrades
The treasures of my existence and soul.

I suffer pain, remorse and regret
From actions I’m forced to employ.
I have no choice but to do my duty
As my solemn oath becomes my story.

Remind our kids how much I love them
And those moments they cry or play.
I’ll be home for hugs and kisses
Hopefully by Christmas Day.

Most of all I pray for words
That portray my need for your touch.
I dream of you both night and day
And sometimes a bit too much.

Letters from home, loneliness and sorrow
Have made family more precious to recall.
I love you so incredibly much
As I serve with honor, God and country’s call.

Hope To Be Home By Christmas
Love You
Your Marine


SONS AND DAUGHTERS of WORLD WAR III


Our sons and daughters serve in harms way
To defend our way of life.
Some are students, some grandparents
Many a husband or wife.

They face great odds without complaint
Gambling life and limb for little pay.
So far away from all they love
Fight our soldiers for whom we pray.

The plotters and planners of America’s doom
Pledge to murder and maim all they can.
From early childhood they are taught
To kill is to become a man.

They exploit their young as weapons of choice
Teaching in heaven virgins will await.
Destroying lives along with their own
To learn of their falsehoods too late.

The fearful cry we must submit
And find a way to soothe them.
Where defenders worry if we stand down
The future for America is grim.

Now’s not the time to fight one another
Or kiss our enemy’s cheek.
All through history it remains the same
The strong enslave the weak.

May God continue to bless America
Refusing evil the upper hand.
It’s up to us to stay resolute
Defending the liberty of Man.

You all have my utmost respect and admiration for what you're doing. You have volunteered to do what ninety eight percent of the rest of us can't or are unwilling to do. You're heroes all, and in my eyes, are doing God's work. I pray for all of you daily, for your safety and success of the mission. Though there are some in many mainstream newspapers and various ignorant opinion makers, who are constantly negative, the majority of Americans support you and the remarkable work you do. They should spend a little more time on the fifty some odd million people who now have a shot at real freedom, which is being made possible by you. May God bless you, and bring you home safely with a successful mission under your belt! Sincerely,
Allen Farmer, Dallas

We are so thankful for you all fighting for our freedom and keeping it safe for us. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Thank you again

I'm not an American but I support the American troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. You guys and gals are doing a fantastic job. I know the press and many western countries around the world are trying to portray it otherwise but I am very proud of what you are all doing. You are bringing peace and stability to a troubled part of the world. You are putting your lives on the line. We could all learn from you. Thank you and God bless you all.

Words can't express how proud we are of all of you. We miss you and we don't even know your names. We love you and we have never laid eyes on you. We can't wait for you to come home yet we know that your job isn't finished. Know that you are in our hearts and in our prayers, today and every day. May God bless you and keep you safe.

I just wanted you soldiers and servicemen/women to know we pray for you daily and love you for the job you do protecting US interests and helping rebuild that forsaken third-world nation. I know that if you are allowed to do your jobs to the fullest, there is not a problem in the world that you can't solve. Stay the course! Make it safe there! Enforce peaceful change of government! And come home to us as soon as you can. God Bless. Jeff, Mynette, Josh and Nick Deskin Plano, TX

To all of you men and women that unselfishly leave your families to protect mine, I owe my unwavering gratitude. I am humbled by the time and sacrifices you make to provide a service that threatens your life, causes you to be in position that is most of the time undesirable. My prayers are with you and your families. I hope that as I raise my children, I can instill in them the values that you all hold so dear. I hope that they will grow to be people who will look past color creed or religion and help others that are in need without hesitation. So if no one has told you lately that they are proud of you, here it comes...I am so very proud of you and although, I don't understand why we're at war anymore, I do understand your commitment and I applaud you with every fiber of my being. Keep your heads up and look towards the hills, your help is coming.

To all American Troops serving our Country, I know this is just a note, or maybe even an e-mail, but I just want each & every one of you to know how much we appreciate your service to this country. Because of you, we are safer. Because of you, we sleep better at night. I have never been more proud to be an American. Any time I see one of our uniformed personnel, I go to them & shake their hand and say "Thank you for your service"! Please remember, no matter how hard it gets or impossible the situation seems, we love all of you! Please come back, safe and sound. We'll be here, ready to embrace you and welcome you back! All of you hold a special place in our hearts! Warmest personal regards,

I would like to thank you all for the job you are doing in trying to increase security for the people in Iraq. Also for the other jobs you are doing regarding helping the common people in trusting you and building their infrastructure, homes, businesses and whatever else you are asked to do. Thank you again. We appreciate the work being done over there. I wish you all the best and know that the vast majority of people back home here are rooting for you and asking God's blessings be on you and all you encounter. Thank you again!! Sincerely, Tim Nelson

Thank you for serving our county and protectecting our freedom. We appreciate the things given up to protect Americans. I served one year June 1967 to June 1968 in southeast Asia in Vietnam. GOD Bless you. Hurry home.

A simple "Thank you" does not seem enough. How does one properly show appreciation for people who volunteer to leave their homes and families to protect Americans in lands far away? We are proud of you. We think of you daily, and pray God will bring you all home when the job is done. What you are doing is important and honorable. Be assured, you have the thanks of a grateful nation.

I got up this morning and realized that I live in a free country. Thank you for that.

Thank you to everyone in the fight for our freedom and safety! We pray for you and your families...stay strong and courageous. Your country appreciates the service and sacrifice--and we are proud of our American soldiers, airmen, and Marines! God Bless you in this coming year!

I support you, I admire you, I appreciate you and can not really impart this in words. But you are the Americans that safeguard our Country. May you come home soon!!!

Dear Men and Women in Uniform, As a Christian, it is my prayer that our Loving Father creator of Heaven and Earth brings you all back to your loved ones in one piece, safe and sound. While you are performing your duties to protect the freeedom of America, we at the Stonebriar Community church in Frisco, TX always include you all in our Sunday service offering and closing prayers. We pray for you, your families and friends too for God's protection. May our Blessed Redeemer Jesus Christ be with you you in all circumstances. Miracles happen all the time - this time it may happen to you. God Bless your life. Romans 15:13 Your Sister in Christ, Esperanza

Thank you for all you do in a non draft time. Know that you are in the hearts and minds of those back at home and we include each of you in our prayers and well wishes. Stay well and God Bless!!!

Dear serviceman or servicewoman, just wanted to write a few lines to let you know that myself and most of the people of this nation believe in you and support your mission. My family and I pray daily for your safety and that you complete your mission and come home soon. My own daughter is in the army as a medic and has been there twice. Just know that we are proud of you and what you do. Without our military we would not enjoy the many freedoms that we now have. Stay safe and God bless.

First of all let me thank you on behalf of my family for the outstanding work you are doing for all us at home. I thank our GOD for your commitment. It is read " No greater love a man has, when he stands-up for what is right and are willing to finish the job." I myself am a retired army, from the Viet-Nam era, although I was not sent over there I was ready to go if I was ordered. There are more of us who appreciate what you are doing for all us, than those who are yelling negative remarks all the time. We love all of you MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU MEN AND WOMEN. In Christian Love, Ramon Hinojosa & Family 7

Hey! I want to write to you and tell you how precious you are. How proud we are of you back home here!!! Bless you for doing what you do. I wish I could shake your hand, look you in the eye, and tell you how amazing you are. I can't. but I can pray for you earnestly and I can sent a note across the miles. You take care of yourself, you're so very needed on this earth. Thank you again for being you and for serving our country in such a dynamic way! Adios, Sherry R

Thank you all very much! I know and or hope that America's people are telling you all their thanks. And, no matter what I just have to tell you THANK YOU!!! Actually I shouted it, but all in all, I really do Thank You. Very much love, Wendy

Just a short note to let you know you are in our thoughts every day. May you be safe throughout your time at war. You are ALL truly heroes to us here in this wonderful country. Thank you and God bless.

Honest to God, there is no way for us to properly thank you for your service to America, the land and its people. Your heroism is beyond our comprehension. This is an awful time for our country but President Bush really is trying to do the right thing; it's just hard times that call for hard decisions. Some politicians don't get that and they tell us we can have our cake and eat it too; but most of us like us, know better. I know in my heart that we should be there and that we have to be there; I'm just so sorry that not all your friends will make it home. I want you to know how much we appreciate you all and that we pray for your safety in every home here, every day. I hope that you soldiers will get the Vet Admin and your military leadership to back you in a NEW MOVEMENT that really takes care of you with good insurance and health care for the rest of your life. NOW IS THE TIME, to stand up and request this from your homeland. It is also a patriotic thing to do for so many of your peers who will be injured and will need more care and help. Everyone here RIGHT NOW especially, will back this and support you. But you need to step-up and request this as rights for your peers while the issue is still at the forefront of every American's conscience. Please form some new organization or way among you to take this on and serve it up in the right way to the American people. Democrats and Republicans will all support this. But if you don't move on it now, in a few years, the full support will wither some. Please do this and let the Americans at home, help you build support. We can sign email petitions if you can spearhead this with your best leadership to shortcut the solution so that everyone that comes home from this horrible war will be safe and cared for always. God Bless You and keep you safe and far out of this evil (and ignorant) enemy's sight.

America is the home of the free because of the brave. It takes a lot of courage and love for your country to do what you guys are doing. I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Return home safe

As a former soldier... Now retired 1SG and Gulf War vet. I’d like to thank all the soldiers male and female. This has been a long fight and I want you all to know that we care and love you all. It sounds so simple...but you are America’s best. There is no person greater than God than the soldier on the battle field. May you all walk into the valley strong and fear no evil. "army strong"

Just a note to say keep on doing what you are doing and be proud to be an American that is standing for the truth. We aree praying for victory and your safe return. Thank you for all of us! Bro Rusty

James,
We miss you and pray for your safe return daily. Please know that you are dearly loved! May you feel the lords arms wrap around you in protection! God Bless You!
Love,

Hang In There-We're All Still Behind You

Never give in... never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force... never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. Most of you, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and you will make the goal. I send you prais and encouragement

I really appreciate what you guys are doing. I know that everyone is saying that, and I'm sure they mean it, too. You guys are doing what everyone else is too afraid to do. So thank you. No wonder why you guys are the Best of the Best. Please come home healthy and strong. Semper Fi.

Thank you for your sacrifice and for dedicating your lives to making this a safer world. You are in our thoughts today -- and every day. We pray for your safe and speedy return.

Poem - The Greatful American!

Our utmost respect we give to you, To you who defend the red white and blue. Without your service our nation would fall, You have the gratified of each of us all. Some will return home, to family and friends, While others will die our nation they defend. For defending our freedoms ,there is no shame, Even if we do not know you all by name. WE know you as an American threw and threw, We the Americans stand up and salute you. The Military of this nation so true, Known simply as the Red White, and Blue.

Keep your heads up high and remember you are not alone. This war will not last forever. And remember all of us here at home are very proud of you, and we may not know all of you, but we love you all the same as if you were our own family members. Love you and God bless

Thank you for all you do for us. You are in my thoughts and my prayers. God keep you safe and bring you back home.

Just wanted you to know that I have been there, done that and am glad you are the one doing it now! I was in the Marine Corps and once a Marine, always a Marine. My oldest son was also. I fought a different war that some of you are but I understand the need of knowing that there are Americans that care what you are doing and are proud that you are serving our country. It is my prayer that you will represent our our country with pride.
Thank you and our church is praying for you! Bro Rusty

I Just wanted to say I am proud of you our troops. Every time I see one of you in the airport or on the street, I am reminded what a great sacrifice you are making for me and my family. You remind us of how we should do more for America, you remind us of what we should aspire to. God Bless you.

To all of you who are tired, scared, and suffering, to those who miss their friends, families, and loved ones, I thank each and everyone of you for putting your lives out on the line to protect your country the best that you know how to. I support all of you troops. I have tremendous respect for you because you are defending us and fighting against an enemy who clearly has hatred in their hearts. Please come home safely and know that people may oppose the war, but they have always and will always support you and what you have done for your country.

If there are any requests our troops may need:

local news
pen pals
supplies
etc.

Please post a message here. Or if you just want to post a message to anyone, please feel free to do so here. We will see what we can do to accomodate your needs. God Bless You and Keep You Safe! We support your efforts 200% !!!

I have a wish for every soldier, black or white, male or female united under our American flag a speedy and safe return home. I pray that when ever anyone of you return home that you find unending appreciation and respect wherever you go. Everytime I see one of our soldiers here at home I stop and look at them with the deepest admiration and I know that I am looking at a true hero. Where ever you may be may the hand of God hold you and shelter you from danger. How proud I am of you all. Come home soon!

NEVER BE AFRAID TO BE PROUD of AMERICA

America, the abundant, the place I was born I'll cherish till the day I die. Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground Who loved her the same as I.

Her mountains are so tall they reach for the sky; With prairies where the green grasses grow. There's billions of trees where wild birds nest With creatures that flourish below.

That blue gold called water with which we are blessed As raindrops or crystallized snow; Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes While the winds of our seasons blow.

There's the haunt of a whistle from a lonely freight train Racing on ribbons of steel With the harvest of farms and from the factories Balanced in a box on a wheel.

Some cities have buildings a hundred stories tall, Structures of concrete, glass and steel. A statue in a harbor, a present from France, Describes how, inside, we feel.

That flag on the moon with red and white stripes Proves America’s dreams come true. A country of heroes who line up to protect The past, the present and the few.

We’ll defeat terrorism as it should be fought Never letting Satan’s horde chase us to our door. Safeguarding our borders and system of life As our forefathers sacrificed before.

Never be afraid to be proud of America And march with the brave, faithful and just. Refusing to summit to the will of our enemies Standing firm to preserve what we trust.

Global Special Operations 101

I just wanted to say that I think you are all so amazing and brave and encouraging to me. It was always my dream to become a soldier, but God had other plans for me. I have so much respect and admiration for all of you who give your lives, your energy, your time, your well-being, and everything else you have. I read a message that a soldier wrote, saying that you always run out of basic supplies at the end of the week, and anything that we back home can send would be of help. You give so much, and get so little. I admire you so much. I hope when you are out there, you will get to read all these messages that people are posting, and know that we have not forgotten you, and each time one of you falls, it is a very sad day back home. My prayers and thoughts are always with you, and God bless you all for the amazing things you do.

You may be the people I may never meet that I pray for the most. The respect and pride shared from serving for others will never be forgotten. I pray for peace and for your family. Thank you for everything. God bless you and keep you always.

God bless and thank all of you for your service. We know and appreciate what you are doing and why you are doing it. The world and our families are safer because of you.

You are all constantly in my thoughts and prayers. America is proud of you and all you are trying to accomplish over there. God Bless you all.
Your Devoted Troop Supporter

My wife and I want to send our heartfelt thanks to the men and women serving our nation in Iraq. We truly appreciate the sacrifices you are making. You are American heroes.
We will continue to pray for your safe return home and the establishment of a safe, peaceful, and secure Iraq.

To whom it may concern: Words alone can not describe the gratitude and sometimes the sadness for the job you guys are doing for us in Iraqi. I see and read the sacrifices you guys are doing everyday for us. Please tell all the guys that I am behind you and wish that everyone comes home safe. I wish I was with you, but I’m too old to re-enlist. Thank you guys for all you do for me and my family.

Hugs to all of you serving our country. Come home safe & come home soon.
Army Mom

I am very thankful for every thing that you guys and gals are doing and I just wanted to say, be safe, watch over each other and that GOD is with you all "no doubt"

God bless all of you for your courage and sacrifice.

I want to thank all of the troops for the sacrafices that you make and pray that you all come home safely. All my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I can't even begin to express the respect and admiration for each of you serving. We often forget the depth of the sacrifice that each of you are making. You have left family, friends, and personal freedom behind to risk your life every day. This country and I owe you our deepest gratitude. You are in my thoughts a prayers. I can not imagine the worry your families must bare in your absence. s a mother of three small boys and would be terrified if my sons were off at war, however there must be no greater pride then to have a child protecting the thing that so many before have fought and died for......freedom. May God keep each of you safe and grant you peace when you return from war.

You have the ability to change lives, to make a difference, to make someones day a little brighter, every single day. What each of you has done for every American is something that can never be repaid. We owe you everything, so just know that we will always support you and always back you up. Before you know it you are going to be back here with your families again. Stay safe and know that we love you!

God Bless Our Troops. We are so proud of you all, and we are praying for you every step of the way. You will forever be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. Thank You so much for being so very brave and standing up for America, the Beautiful. Wishing you a safe and happy return home, always and forever.

As a Marine Mom with a son serving in Iraq, I thank first of all our men and women who are sacrificing their lives for the cause of freedom and it is also a real help to us as military parents to hear the messages of supporting not only our troops but their mission. I pray that someday not only Iraq, but other countries will enjoy freedom because of men and women who feel it is worth even their own lives, to fight for that freedom. Thank you to our troops and also for the support of so many for their mission. You are always in our prayers.

Words cannot express the gratitude in my heart for the sacrifices you all have made to give the gift of freedom to those who might never have known it otherwise. You are so brave and we love you all!
