"Freedom has a special meaning for those of us who have fought for it, that the protected shall never know"
"I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal lonliness should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love. But most of all I have lived times others would say were best forgotten. At least some day I will be able to say, I was proud of what I was and always will be....................

A United States Marine"

I'M A HELICOPTER PILOT, DON'T CRY FOR ME Don't grieve for me, I've returned to base. To join my fellow Marines - at the Holy place. My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, and laughs, A loved one's touch. You can wear your flightsuits, fly a hop each day, It's a pretty nice place, So I think I'll stay. I've seen a few who went before me, The guys from Vietnam are here, So brave, so young we were back then I still can shed a tear, But we're United States Marines, And there is nothing that we fear. Oh, … God said the devil is still looking for "jane", And yes, I did get to see John Wayne. So if you happen to get "the calling", And you're at the pearly gate, Remember to listen for those rotors, And look for a squadron mate. "Mrs. Windy" Paula Page
