A Tribute To Our Brave Fallen-by Clay Burton

You Dont Have To Agree With This
Or Accept It
To Understand It
They, Fought.
Our Brave, Courageous, And Willing Heros.
They Defended And Protected Our Privilege.
And They Died For Our Rights.
Our Veterans Also Died
For The Rights Of Those Who Hate Our Nation.
They Died To Preserve The Rights
Of Those Who Would Disrespect Her.
Why?
Why Would Anyone Risk Their Lives,
So As To Give That Right
To The Ignorant?
The Ungrateful?
The Emotionally Immature?
To Those Who Despise,
Yet Live,
In The Very Country That Allows
This Kind Of Contempt And Dishonor.
Why?
Because America Is The Most Free Nation
On The Face Of The Planet.
It Is Precious and Rare.
It Was Formed On An Idea.
When We Escaped The Oppression
From A Tyrannical King,
Who Would Dictate Our Lives?
We Have Been Fighting Ever Since
To Safeguard Our Immunity.
Never Again, Would We Allow,
Any Form, Of Autocracy.
We Formed A Constitution
Of Inalienable Liberties.
For All The People!
But Why?
Look Around Today.
At Those Who Would Silent Our
Voices, Ideas, Beliefs, Expressions, And Opinions.
The Same Fascism In Which We Have Defeated
Over And Over, Again And Again
Throughout Our Histories Independence.
Fighting The Evils That Would Otherwise
Destroy Our Sovereignty.
If We Begin To Oppress Others,
Then The Oppression We Escaped From Begins.
But This Time On Our Soil
In The Land Of The Free.
Do We Persecute Those Who Persecute Us?
Are We No Different Than They Are?
Do We Ban Them?
Imprison them?
Kill Them?
We Are Not Russia, China, North Korea, Or Iran.
We Are Better Than That.
In God We Trust.
One Nation Under God.
God Bless America!
Do We Have Faith In This?
Or Not?
So What Do We Do,
When Our Free Nation
Would-Be Threatened
By The Indoctrinated And Uneducated?
Who Would Turn Our Way Of Life
Into A Totalitarian Government?
Even As We Speak.
Right Now.
In Our Own Home Of The Brave?
The United States Of America!
Not New. Not, The First Time. Nor The Last.
We Fight! We Always Fight!
We Have Never Stopped Fighting!
And Never Will For Our Freedom!
It's What We Do Best!
It's In Our Blood And Our Spirit.
For All Of This
We Observe And Honor Memorial Day.
Lest We Never Forget How We Got Here.
Lest We Never Forget Where We Came From.
Lest We Never Forget Who We Are.
Lest We Never Forget What We Could Become.
Yes, I, Me. I Will Fight And Sacrifice All That I Have.
And Even Die For Freedom.
Because If I Don't There Can Be No Freedom
For Our Children In The Future.
And They Are The Future.
What We Leave Behind For Them?
Will Determine The Future.
Not One Single Soldier,
Has Ever Died In Vain.
Despite The Senseless Wars.
They Had Their Own Reason And Purpose.
It Was Their Mission.
These Tireless Women And Men.
That May Not Have Always Been
The Same Reason And Purpose
Of Politicians.
A Soldiers Mission Is Where This Post Tribute Begins.
The Call Of Duty!
To Protect, Defend, Preserve, Honor, And Win For...
"We The American People".
"All The American People".
Thank You For Your Service.
God Bless Your Families.
