"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, is directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated"
- George Washington

Dedicated to the men and women who served past, present and in the future.

We Support Our Troops Anywhere They Are serving....Thank You Veterans for Making The Sacrifices That paved The Way For The Freedom We Enjoy!!!

Be sure to check our MENU below

This site is for all Military past, present and future. For

their families and friends.... and those who care about them.

We are here to acknowledge and honor the men and women who

fought so bravely to secure our freedom! To show respect

and appreciation for those that continue to do so.

Freedom came with a large price. It wasn't free then and still

isn't. Many wars have been fought over hundreds of years....lives

have been lost. When the wars ended for many of these heroes

another hell at home began, in some cases, many years later.

For our military it was a time that duty called these young

men and women, most of them just out of high school.

They rallied, they fought side by side giving our country

their best whether home or abroad.. Who are the winners?

There were none. There are thousands upon thousands

in our cemeteries ...many on foreign soil, casualties of war.

Some returned as strangers with broken bodies and spirits.

Never again to return to the life left behind.

Vietnam veterans weren't welcomed home with parades as

in other wars. Instead they were often times treated as

outcasts, insulted and mistreated. Not only by protestors

of that war but by our own government that turned their

back on them, having promised to support them and

medically treat them for the rest of their lives. This has left

many veterans fragile, sick from chemicals used to spray

vegetation in the jungles. Alive? Yes alive but unable to find closure

Some neglected still today by our government who is not

responding to their needs in a timely way. or not at all. This site

is for them and the friends and families that share their

hardships. To support and learn from them is our mission and

in some small way to show our gratitude. To listen, should

they want to unburden themselves of the nightmares

due to horrors we can not imagine.

We must never forget the MIA'S or the POW'S

unaccounted for and bring them home. It is my hope to

bridge the gap in understanding, to learn and make

our young people today better informed. We proudly salute and

honor all military, past, present and future.

Without our veterans and active duty military, life would

be quite different. We owe them for our freedom!

Thank you Soldier

Have you stopped to thank a veteran today?
For the price of freedom they had to pay?
Did you gaze into those distant eyes?
Did you see the ghosts he can't deny?
Did you think a soldier's heart was made of steel?
Because he was trained to kill, he couldn't feel?
Did you see the guilt written on his face,
For the loss of life he can't replace?
Did you know he mourns the lives he couldn't save,
And walks with comrades in their grave?
Did you remember the boy with innocence lost?
Do you really know war's ultimate cost?
Have you felt the blast of artillery fire?
Do you have the courage it would require?
Have you stood in trenches consumed with fear?
Felt the enemies breath so very near?
Have you walked with God on a battleground?
Seen your brothers dead or dying all around?
Have you stopped to thank a vet today,
Or did you just turn and walk away?
From the pain he'll carry for the rest of his life,
Did you consider his family, his children, his wife?
That watch him suffer in silence each and every day,
As he's haunted by memories that don't go away?
Did you care that the soldier is still pulling guard?
That his heart, mind, and soul will forever be scarred?
Do you know how he suffers from ptsd?
Or that our precious freedom is never free?
Do you care that he still hears the blood curdling screams?
Or that he returns to the war each night in his dreams?
Have you felt the sorrow of a combat vet?
Or would you rather just forget?
That war has pierced his hardened heart,
And torn this soldier all apart?
Would you rather our heroes just fade away?
Or will you stop to thank a vet today?
