THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI

"A bump in the road"

~ Remember that calloused statement?

I don't know the author of this poem … received it today.  Very thought provoking and poignant.  I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi incident as "a bump in the road."  Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public knowing the truth about the whole affair.

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON)

THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI

We're the battling boys of Benghazi

No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a fiery death in a blazing hell

Defending our country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,

fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.

We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate

Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.

Just the two of us, and foes by the score,

But we stood fast to bar the door.

Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,

So we fought, and we fought, and we fought ‘til we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,

But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.

Just two dead seals who carried the load

No thanks to us – we were just "Bumps In The Road".

Please circulate this email – please keep it going so it will reach every American with a computer.  Something has to be done with the incompetent people who literally sat there in the White House and watched the Seal’s execution on live streaming video and did absolutely nothing!   The Obama Administration must be held accountable and that will not happen unless ALL of US demand it!

Happy Mother's Day 2011

A Poem for Mothers, and Mine

The love of a mother is beyond compare

One who dearly loves and is always there

From scraped knees

To falls from trees

A mother cares for all

From “I told you so”

To “That’s a no-no! ”

A mother answers the call

Mothers cook, mothers clean, some even work a job

Even with all their strength, a mother still knows how to sob

Mothers should be honored for all they have done

Every day of the year, not just one

There is nothing better than a mother’s love

For her time on this earth thank God above

A mother’s love endures forever

Its unbreakable bonds no on can sever

No matter how much I have grown

My mother’s love is always shown

She has become a mentor and a guide

Within her always I am able to confide

No better payment for her I can find

Then to love her with heart, and with mind

To the one who bore me; I share my emotion

To the one who raised me; Absolute devotion

To this woman I express my joy

You will always be my “mommy” and I your “baby boy”
