The Pride Of Our Country  ...  Our Armed Forces
  Because Of You


  You put it on the line for us
  We won't forget, you are A-Plus

  This country stands because of you
  Your service seals red, white and blue

  No better troops embrace this earth
  Thank God for you, our greatest worth

  We pray for you both night and day
  God be with you along your way

  You wear your uniform with pride
  And use your skills, so well applied

  The rank you hold does mean one thing
  You're a GI and you are first-string

  Be well assured we back you strong
  How proud we say 'that you belong'

  Without your will - to walk the walk
  We'd have no right - to talk the talk

  American Is This Hero

 
  American is this Hero
  In uniform standing tall
 
  Ready, willing, and able
  To march, the will to face all
 
  The proudest of our service
  Steadfastly meeting each call
 
  The bravest of our country
  As were those upon The Wall
 
  Displaying awesome courage
  A treasure you cannot install
 
  Filled with total commitment
  To serve us for the long haul
 
  America know this Hero
  Thank God and always recall

For All We Have

  A table with chairs, that welcome sight
  Our family, our friends, pure delight

  A caring kiss with a gentle smile
  Each tender hug lasts that country mile

  The presence of love so fills the air
  This gift of God brings our hearts so near

  Reflections of past bring nurtured thought
  Great visions come by, what life has taught

  In thankful ways we embrace this day
  And often think of loved ones away

  Those serving us proud are often gone
  But their spirit remains, closely drawn

  Our Nation should praise each special one
  For all we have is through what they've done

  The freedom to have Thanksgiving Day
  Keeps certain plates bare, please truly pray

  Roger J. Robicheau




They Keep Us Free

In time of need their will is sure
American, their freedom pure

Protect our life and liberty
Unselfishly, they keep us free

Each soldier knows what is at stake
The risk is grave, there's no mistake

With pride they serve our country strong
They face each foe to come along

Remember them while in your home
Or where you choose to freely roam

Don't take for granted what you see
Some left this life, so it could be

To God I urge you all to pray
For soldier's brave, to face each day

We should be thankful, one and all
For those who march to meet each call

Roger J. Robicheau
