Well, I'm not sure if this has already been a subject but I'm surrounded by red, white, and blue right now. Jeff's mom and grandmother are very patriotic people, having family that's served I wouldn't expect much less. His grandmother lost a son to the USA. So, this weeks subject is PATRIOTISM. Your thoughts on patriotism, your feelings.....have fun :)

In an unlike time
In an unlike place
watching the news
tears roll down my face

Many are honored for what they gave
A flag over a casket
while being lowered into their grave

Many are still out there
Suffering day to day
sleeping in sand bunks
not much time to pray

many at home
wondering whats to come
Will tommy come home
or is he on the run

My hand over my heart
I recite these words
I PLEADGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG
I know that I am heard

I am a member of the United States Air Force
I fight to keep this country free
I fight for you
I fight for me

The support we receive makes this job worth while
I see it in the faces of every man, woman, and child

American Heroes


You fly planes
Kill for fun
Murder your own people
With your own gun.
I wont let you continue
Even if I have to do it by hand
I can’t let you steel any more lives
For all America I will stand.
We are not afraid
There is an answer within the soul
We will fight together
America as a whole.
We will stand together
We cast our fears aside
You can run if you wish
But you can’t hide.
Red is for the heart
Of the Americans strong
Also for our youth
Who sing our countries song.
White is the color of a hero
And everything they do
It is for our faith
When in war with you.
Blue is for our strength
When all America will stand
When we fight as a whole
Together hand in hand.
We won’t let you win
Even after those who died
We will stand together
Forever American Pride!

Thank You so much LinZay. But I do think that Leah's was better. and my integrity will not allow me to accept this. Therefore I most humbly defer my win to Leah for I think she is the real winner. Don't get me wrong I greatly appreciate your choosing my poem! GREAT JOB LEAH! I can't wait to see what topic you choose!
