Not nearly enough Americans (people) realize what Soldiers, Seamen, Airmen, Marines or even Coasties go through in the defense of, or preparation for defense of, the great country we live in... nor do many realize the importance or significance of a simple thank you.
The Colors of Freedom
Greens Blues Whites
so beautiful yet so frightening
These colors represent so much
Strength Courage Purity
most importantly Freedom
Still one more color remains
the least told
and most remembered
From these other three
we have Pride and Respect
but from the last
we have Loss and Sorrow
the color Red
Nobility
Blood shed for us
