Heroes Never Die

Inspired by the Megadeth song of the same name and dedicated to all those who have ever served our country.

 

Stars and stripes pride

Is the anthem in their minds

When surrounded by gunfire.

The fight for peace

Is a selfless act,

Second to none.

While you are in the desert

Doesn’t mean you’re deserted

Cause friends and loved ones

Keep you near

While red blooded Americans

Honor your bravery

With every decision

They express freely.

Though some return to tell the tale

And some only in spirit

None of you will ever be forgotten

Cause heroes never die.

"None of you will ever be forgotten
Cause heroes never die."
These were my favorite lines. To me, these could have been a poem by themself they are so amazing. The entire poem is just...wow... i cant even describe what i thought. I have had family in the military past and present so this touched me deeply.

Next month my son leaves for the gulf. These words mean more than you can possibly know. The men and women of our military ARE heroes. A mite braver than I can ever profess to be. Thank you for your write...it's personal. 100 peaches!

Heart filled words... This is a beautiful and strong dedication to everyone serving in the military.

[Miss Coral]

Very strong last two lines. I too think that they kind of blew the rest out of the water, though all of it was wonderfully penned. Excellent tribute.
