A Patriot Speaks Truth to Power

Dear Mr. Obama,

Thank you for not going to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. There is something very sacred about that place and about that day.

Those who bled and died for this country deserve to be honored and saluted by people who love their country and honor their sacrifice.

You don't belong there.

Thank you for realizing that and going to Chicago .

Remembering Their Sacrifice

The Mansions of the Lord

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing,
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord.

No more bleeding, no more fight,
No prayers pleading through the night,
Just divine embrace, eternal light,
To the Mansions of the Lord.

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep,
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord.
