"All Honor goes to the Fallen," (And also to those still standing).

Countless thousands, day after day
Leave their towns that they grew-up
in
Where they played in the woods and
at the parks and where they went to
school and begin to have big-dreams
Where they were in band and saw the,
"Friday Night Lights,"
Where they snuck into the parking lot
or behind the bleachers to make-out
with their, "Sweety,"
Oh how they'll one day,(hopefully),
on these, "Wonder Years," reminisce

But countless thousands, day after day
leave their towns and homes that they
grew-up in
Leave their Fathers and Mothers and
Sisters and Brothers and friends and
all their other family and relocate
to Foreign countries and place
themselves in, "Harms Way," to either
give others the Hope of, "Fond Memories,"
or do the bidding of a crooked government,
(But on that topic I'll not stray because
on that one I have strong, critical opinions),
and stand Sentry to Hopefully bring Peace

To these that leave and Hope to give a
Brighter Future to others I say, "Shalom,
Peace," "Godspeed,"

To Christopher Stevens I say, "Peace unto you,"
Although they are evilly trying to make us
forget your name and say that it was a
made-up, phony scandal and not give you the
retribution and recognition that you deserve,
you we"ll never forget
Peace unto you and your family and to them and
all theirs, Shame and Eternl Damnation in the
Darkest, Lowest Realms of Hades
"Shine my Brother like the Pleiades,"

And to the thousands of others who from the
farthest reaches of the world who'll never
make it back, to you we say, "Peace," and,
"Thank You," you may no longer be Respected
by a Crooked Government and Leadership that
you took an Oath to uphold but you will always
be Honored in our Souls
And although they Decrease your pay and Benefits
but make sure that they, "Line Their Bottomless
Pockets," YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN,"
