First Class Heroes

​This poem is for all those men and women, who fought for, died for, got wounded for: their country, their communities, their families…

Fly the flags high this day…Have a parade to honor those whose blood saturate the soil so that freedom can become a reality in places where anarchy rules…

In places where the people are the constant victims of murder and abuse, of pestilence and wars that dominate their life daily…

Our soldier’s brave men and women putting their lives on the line, dodging bullets and land mines, on alert all the time…
​
Let us take more than just a moment to honor them, more than just a day, to let them know that we who are home under the comforts of our homes, respect you and pay tribute for your protection.

​You were in the Marines, Army, Navy, and Air force, covering the grounds, the air and the sea, So that our cities are safe, our nation is safe, our future is protected…

You are the proud, the brave, the fearless, and the ones who are out front in the midst of war…
Courage and fortitude is your armor…

In the trenches they sent you, into open fire they sent you, into the arms of an enemy who seeks to wound, maim and kill you, they sent you.

It is an honor to write a few lines for First Class Heroes…

I salute you and I prayed that you would come back home safe, with your MIND in tact, with your BODY intact…

I salute you for surviving when your friends didn’t make it, surviving when some of you were treated like Second Class, no matter how hard you fought, how many you saved or killed…

Your sacrifices and your commitment in protecting us from enemies abroad and at home is what legends were made from…

I salute you and the Uniform that You Represented…

Whether it was on the Battlefield or off the field, your Service to this Country should be giving Praise, because Not All of you got the Medals you deserved…

FIRST CLASS HEROES… ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE AND MARINES…
