Re: Highway of Heroes - slide show
Being that those who went before us gave us the right and freedom to have an opinion and question the 'why' of any war, I think that we all can say we support those who feel so strongly as to put themselves in harms way regardless of our own thoughts about the war.
Our hearts ache for those families who are living with such grief over the loss of a loved one even as they speak of their pride for the sacrifice they made.
I know I breathed a little easier last week when a young man I've known since kindergarten came home from Afghanistan to his family and young son for Christmas.
The patriot's dream is as old as the sky
It lives in the lust of a cold callous lie
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
The patriot's dream still lives on today
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
Of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills
