The American Vet
This is for those who protest, curse and hatefully spit when the hear stories about the American Vet,
I have two words "Screw You"! I have to be honest that I am proud to write this to tell you folk "Your all Wet!
Have you forgotten that every person who signs their name to join the Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy or Coast Guard did so with one or more of a million reasons.
Some were farmer kids that wanted to get away from long hours of work they had to do during the spring, summer and hay bailing seasons.
Some worked in your favorite stores and were payed with very little coin,
The chance for three squares a day, medical, dental and a career become strong reasons for them to join.
Some are kids that people call incorrigible or simply a troubled child,
The come to grips with the exercise, learning, and friendships they have. They find these new experiences pretty wild.
Some join because their great-grandfathers raised thought the ranks,
They were thrilled as they heard the stories how the old WWII vet fought in one of Patton's tanks.
Whatever reasons the kids volunteer I can tell you this, they are scared when they go into a war zone and they do cry when a friend is covered with the dreaded body bag,
And the same volunteers cry again for their friends when a handfull of idiots laughs and screams "Your family deserves this because God hates fags!"
When you sign up there is a reality that you may be placed in a firefight from hell,
They understand the freedom they save that lets the prophets of hate burn the flag and continue to believe the crap they sell.
So I say this to you idiots one more time "Screw You", And for you that turn laugh and walk away. I'll repeat that statement pretty loud.
To my brother and sisters in all the United State services I have only a few more thoughs:
Come home safe to be with the ones that love you,
I honor you for your time,
I salute you for your honor of duty,
I hope you accept our huggs and handshakes because of you, We can stand proud!!
