USA The Wall

My tribute to our precious fallen hero' of the Iraq war. They and their families have to know that they will be forever in the hearts of you and I ...

The Wall   September 20, 2009 Upon this wall the names Have been placed For most who visit There is no face But as I place my hand Upon each name I pray that you know Your death was not in vain For it is here I feel the beating heart of American Pride That gave their all Upon air land and the rising tide For my children and their children The ultimate sacrifice you have made So that each night and day faced They will have no need to be afraid It is because of each name We know of our American Pride And know that each of you Now walk by His side Please know that all our Military Stand the tallest of them all none of you will ever be Just a name upon a wall. ღ KKD ღ Original by Donna DeLong Matthews Memorial Day 2004 Audio By Dean Jones Of the Poem written By Larry Walker, Tommy Oliver Titled 'A Soldier's Prayer'  Last Update 9~20~09 Casualties of Iraq I have to admit this is one of two hardest pages I've ever created. One more which will so horridly pain my heart is The Viet Nam Memorial Page that I am in the process of gathering the names now Updates will be made as Soon as possible.

THIS IS AMAZING. WHAT A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO OUR FALLEN HERO'S. IT IS JUST SUCH A SHAME THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE NAMES TO ADD. YOU HONORED THEM WELL. WITH HEART, SOUL, MIND AND BODY, WE PRAY FOR THEM (AND THEIR FAMILIES) AND MAY THOSE STILL FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM COME HOME SOON AND SAFELY. I LOVE THE WAY YOU HUNG THE HEARTS AND THE PICTURE, OH MY, IT IS BEYOND COMPARE. JOB WELL DONE. THANK YOU.

I really enjoyed this Donna. It tapped old memories and a little sadness. I appreciate your contribution to all veterans and your motivation.
