Important: Iraqi Freedom 2003. Please take some time, let this load & maximize, read and comprehend every thing on this page. This is the most important page on this site. These young men and women were willing to give the most precious thing in the world. And remember they weren't drafted they chose to do this for you and I and their government. Yes they get paid, but when you compare how important this is the pay does not offset what they and their families go through. The government can send millions, even billions of dollars to foreign countries and not blink an eye. Don't you think it time for the government to stop talking about how much they appreciate and love these soldiers and start showing them instead. This is a very important part of the United States of America. Make it worth it for these soldiers to want to stay and defend this country. These families will barely have enough to bury these boys, That is so sad. These soldiers are precious jewels! Start treating them that way!!!

The Cost?

Just another day, almost like the day before

except we have loved ones fighting in a war

We watch TV and read the paper,

Iraq is looking a whole lot safer

We read and hear the casualties are low,

but from who’s point of view

I would like to know

What’s it going to cost,

90 billion or more?

 When it comes to lives

are we keeping score?

Talk to the families

if you want the real price

Democrats, Republicans,

you should think twice

What is 90 billion

compared to one life?

Talk to a mom, dad, or even a wife

They would give all the money in the world

to buy their soldier back

but we know that can't happen

it's not in the pact

So when we argue and fuss

over dollars these days,

we should think long and hard

about who really pays

It’s the mom’s, dad’s,

sister’s and brother’s,

son’s, daughter’s, wives,

and a whole lot of others

So when you think

you have it all figured out,

remember it’s the lives

of these soldier’s that really count

So every time you see a soldier around,

make sure you let them know

they are the "Hero" of your town

But don’t be surprised when he

tells you not once, but twice,

the "Hero" is the one who made

the ultimate sacrifice!
