NoJoMo 2010 – Day 11

Hey All,

I didn’t feel like doing today’s challenges… any letter I write always eventually gets sent, and I really wouldn’t know the characters in my life if it was a movie… other than Pookie, Gizmo, Sunshine, and Scooter (main characters for the moment!)… but you already "know" about them with what I’ve already written.  Today I figured I would give Salute to those who have written a blank check for "up to and including my life" to our country.

Highway of Heroes

By The Trews

The day I shipped out,
They numbered a dozen.
Upon my return,
Were a hundred or so.
From the coast and from the prairies,
I bet they keep coming.
add one more name from Ontario.

______________________________________________
Chorus:

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People above with their flags flying low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,
There was never more.
______________________________________________

I served with distinction,
No visions of glory.
I served without question,
Or personal gain.
Seek no justification,
It’s not part of my story.
And it offers no comfort to the ones who remain.

(Chorus)

I took up my vocation,
I was called by my nation.
Without hesitation,
My answer I gave.
Now I am not wondering,
‘Bout the things that I might have been.
There’s no consolation,
To the forgotten brave.

(Chorus)

Carry me home down The Highway of Heroes.
People I love with their heads down low.
Carry me softly, down The Highway of Heroes.
True Patriot Love,

There was never more (x 6)

Signing off for now…
