This is a poem my sister wrote.  Sorry it is not formated right, could not get it lined up properly

"Patriot's Dream"

It's not fireworks and banners displayed...
it's not parades with people cheering on.
It's not hotdogs and apple pie...
it's not who is right and who is wrong.

It's about Tommy who ran into battle...
thinking only of duty to country and command.
It's about Jim who took a bullet...
and died in a foreign land.
It's about Sammy who was lost at sea...
and Kenny who set a prisoner free.
It's about what they did for you and me...
at least, that's the way it's supposed to be.

It's about the red in the red, white and blue...
and Johnny not ever marching home again.
It's about American dreams coming true...
because Tommy, Jim, Sammy, Kenny and Johnny did that for me, them and you.

Here's an old one that was written by some Fighter Ace 2.5 pilot a while ago.  Yeah, spits in FA are respected as much as they are in Aces High.  For those of you that haven't played FA before, stars are something you get when you get 5 consecutive kills without dying.

My, my look up at Spitfire Guy!
Flying high and climbing higher
Near the top of the sky
He always leaves his tanks, and all his bombers to die
He says "I really like to keep my score high"
"I really like to keep my stars nigh"

High, high hunted Spitfire Guy
"The heck with tanks, I'll kill some Yanks,
cuz it's easy as pie"
And I really hope that there is only one...
I really hate it when there is more than one
I always have to roll it and run...

Oh, my, look out Spitfire Guy!
You've been chosen and he's a closin'
He's got blood in his eye
And he looked around, and saw a speck in the sky
"Holy watermelon that Pony's higher than me!"
"Even worse the bastige flys for R D!"

My, my, poor old Spitfire Guy
He's in trouble, he'll be rubble
Cuz he really can't fly
So he wets his pants, lets out a simpering wail...
"I simply cannot get this 'stang off my tail!"
"I have no other choice but to bail!"

Oh, my... there floats Spitfire Guy!
Pretty risky, that was Whiskey
With a gleam in his eye!
So the Mustang loops, and then the rockets do fly
It ain't looking good for Spitfire Guy...
Not looking good for Spitfire Guy

Bye, bye, so much for Spitfire Guy!
Shortly later, in a crater
All his stars they did fry
So he ran to Mommy with a whimper and cry
"I really tried to keep my score high"
"It really sucks when I die!"

Bye, bye, see ya Spitfire Guy
Ain't gonna miss ya but we'll diss ya
Cuz it's easy as pie
You can keep your armour, and your mismodeled gun
We'll laugh our guts out every time that you run
It's a hoot for us whenever you run!

Nice poem xargos .
I used to be a fatalist,
but that part of me died.

beautifull man
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.
