FOR WOUNDS ENDURED
The box is old and tattered
Like the memories stored within.
But o'er the years I've kept both close
Like those of you, my dear friend.
We took different paths
As we left the past behind
But those enduring memories
Play out clearly in our minds.
I got this box for wounds received:
A mere scratch at the very best.
But what about all the other boxes
Sent home and laid to rest??
The WALL stores all the names
But we shelter those we knew:
CHUBBY, WITT, ROWDEN, and THREET...
Just to name a few.
Yes, this box is old and spattered
It's memories well worn and stored.
The HEART inside is for you, my friend
For many wounds endured.

REMEMBER. . .
It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier,
Who salutes the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.
