Answer 1

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Medic, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

Answer 2

a million. we heavily isn't undemanding in the international anymore and every person in extreme college knows of attractiveness is greater significant than the thousands and thousands of lives which would be lost in an Iraqi Civil conflict. 2. Why waste our funds to help people to combat and create a unfastened and democratic life for themselves as quickly as we are in a position to apply the money to help those too lazy to artwork right here in the U. S.. 3. it relatively is glaring that Bush is storing all the stolen oil on his Ranch. Why else could the fee of gas be going up!

Answer 3

We need to stay there for more than one reason. One being, our forefathers put it in writing that if a country wanted our help in regaining or getting their freedom we the U.S.A would assist in this venture. And that's what we're trying to do. Plus if we start bringing them home now and it will takes months to get all of them home this is not an over night thing, the ones that are left behind will be in great jeopardy. If anything we need to send more over, get the job done and done right then bring our people home.

Answer 4

Because Iraq is currently a constitutional democracy under attack by people who want to impose a dictatorship on the people.

The people of Iraq have voted for democracy in three different elections. Why should we abandon them to their enemies?

Answer 5

We shouldn't keep our Troops in Iraq. Too many of our men and women are dying over there and Bush sending our troops over there is doing no good. If they are going to deploy they should send them to the countries that need them and not Iraq. If you have a choice on this topic I would change it if I were you but its your decision of course. My husband is in the Army and I'm still totally against them going to Iraq.

Answer 6

My husband is in the Army and he says We can't quit until the job is done. They can't quit until Iraq is completely free.

Answer 7

So we won't have another vietnam, A good heading, doe's history repeat itself.

Answer 8

The reality is that we have the responsibility to fix what we broke.
