DO NOT HOLD ON TO THIS NOR PRESS DELETE. SOMEONE HAS TO HOLD OUR COUNTRY IN THEIR HANDS. SEND THIS ON.
THE
FINAL
INSPECTION
The
Soldier stood and faced
God,
Which
must always come to pass.
He hoped
his shoes were
shining,
Just as
brightly as his brass.
'Step
forward now, Soldier,
How
shall I deal with you?
Have you
always turned the other cheek?
To My
Church have you been true?'
The
soldier squared his shoulders and
said,
'No,
Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because
those of us who carry guns,
Can't
always be a saint.
I've had
to work most Sundays,
And at
times my talk was tough.
And
sometimes I've been violent,
Because
the world is awfully rough.
But, I
never took a penny,
That
wasn't mine to keep.
Though I
worked a lot of overtime,
When the
bills got just too steep.
And I
never passed a cry for help,
Though
at times I shook with fear.
And
sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've
wept unmanly tears.
I know I
don't deserve a place,
Among
the people here.
They
never wanted me around,
Except
to calm their fears.
If
you've a place for me here, Lord,
It
needn't be so grand.
I never
expected or had too much,
But if
you don't, I'll understand.
There
was a silence all around the
throne,
Where
the saints had often trod.
As the
Soldier waited quietly,
For the
judgment of his God.
'Step
forward now, you Soldier,
You've
borne your burdens well.
Walk
peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've
done your time in Hell.'

It's the
Soldier, not the reporter Who has
given us the freedom of the
press.
It's the
Soldier, not the poet, Who has
given us the freedom of speech.
It's the
Soldier, not the politicians That
ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the
Pursuit of Happiness.
It's the
Soldier who salutes the flag, Who
serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is
draped by the flag.
If you
care to offer the smallest token of recognition
and appreciation for the Military,
Please
pass this on and pray for our men and
women Who have
served and are currently serving our
country And pray
for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice
for freedom....
THESE
COLORS DON'T
RUN
AMEN!
