If he is a hero...........She is
an angel
"I could hardly keep the tears from
falling!!!"
God has blessed us all, for he has
put soldiers here to protect what we believe
in!
THE FINAL
INSPECTION
PLEASE DO NOT HOLD ON TO THIS OR
PRESS DELETE. SOMEONE HAS TO HOLD OUR COUNTRY IN
THEIR HANDS.. SEND THIS ON, AND ON AND
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 have
not. 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.' Author

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.
