Such a  tribute to our service people and especially our  

 Navy seals who were just killed. God Bless them  all.

THE FINAL INSPECTION

THE   FINAL INSPECTION

The  Soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He   hoped his shoes were shining,

Justas brightly as his brass..

'Step  forward now, Soldier ,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other cheek?

To  My Church have you been true?'

The soldier squared his shoulders and  said,

'No,  Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.

I've  had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And  sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

 

But,  I never took a penny,

That  wasn't mine to keep...

Though  I worked a lot of overtime,

When  the bills got just too steep.

 

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though  at times I shook with fear..

And  sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

 

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among  the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except  to calm their fears

 

If  you've a place for me here,  Lord,

It  needn't be so grand.

I  never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.

 

There was a silence all around the throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the Soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.

 

'Step forward now, you Soldier,

You've  borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's  streets,

You've done your time in Hell.'

It's   the Soldier, not the  reporter
Who has given us the freedom of the press.

It's the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of  speech.

It's  the Soldier, not the politicians
That ensures our right to Life, Liberty and thePursuit of Happiness..

It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who  serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is  draped by the flag.

 

If   you care to offer the smallest token of  recognition and appreciation for the Military,                                
Please  pass this on and pray for our men and   women
Who have served and are currently serving our country
And pray for those who have given the ultimatesacrifice for freedom....

 

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN

AMEN!

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
God   Bless Our Military
