Like The General, Who Said, "War Is Hell."

You don’t know the horrible aspects of war. I’ve been through two wars and I know. I’ve seen cities and homes in ashes. I’ve seen thousands of men lying on the ground, their dead faces looking up at the skies. I tell you, War Is Hell." "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke (1729-1797) - English statesman Love your country and live with pride and don't forget those who died. America can't you see... "All gave some and some gave all."

"And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round, And the painted ponies go up and down. We're captive on the carousel of time. We can't return, we can only look behind From where we came, And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game." ~ Joni Mitchell

The PURPLE HEART is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action. It is specifically a combat decoration. "Ahoy .. Awaiting Orders" "Heaven's Door" Somewhere Over The Rainbow Judy Garland "Imagine all the people, living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will live as One." ~ John Lennon ~ Imagine John Lennon Some Gave All Artist/Band: Cyrus Billy Ray Some Gave All I knew a man called him Sandy Kane Few folks even knew his name But a hero was he Left a boy, came back a man Still many just don't understand About the reasons we are free I can't forget the look in his eyes Or the tears he cries As he said these words to me All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all Now Sandy Kane is no longer here But his words are oh so clear As they echo through out our land For all his friends who gave us all Who stood the ground and took the fall To help their fellow man Love your country and live with pride And don't forget those who died America can't you see All gave some and some gave all And some stood through for the red, white and blue And some had to fall And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall Some gave all And if you ever think of me Think of all your liberties and recall, yes recall Some gave all Some gave all The Voice Of The SeaShore ~ The World Creator's Little Helper
