I dedicate this poem to my mother and father, Sarah & Tommie Ross, Sr., who were lifetime members of the VFW and to my nephew, Jeramiah Lee James, who fought in Iraq and to all of our heroes who fight for our freedom.
God Bless Our Men And Women
I know not all their given names
But I am glad they fight for me
I hold my head up high and proud
Each time I see them in a crowd.
I pray for them wherever they are
They hold a special place in my heart
I'd gladly give them the shirt off my back
Because I know they would do the same for me.
God bless them all for what they do
They fight for Freedom
And the Red, White and Blue
They fight for a safe place for me and you.
