Thunder in the streets,
Tears in the eye,
As our love and honor
...Go to the ones that die.
We remember them,
We always hold them dear,
As they serve their country
Through their blood and fear.
Some families still wonder
Where their brothers may be hid,
But all we can do is honor them
For the service that they did.
So raise the flag up high!
Keep it ever from the dirt!
Help the soldiers in your life to see
We never want them hurt!
POW ... MIA ...
We pray that hearts will mend!
We cry for you, we ride for you,
Our vigil will not end!
Run for the wall!
Sara Palin is a reckless opportunist and should not be allowed to participate with her GRANDEOSO BUS during this weekend march of respect for all of our fallen, wounded, serving heros past and present. Shame on all of you who think this should be OK. She is reckless and no friend of any Vet. How long before she pops up with another "Let's get them all in our Cross Hairs" and causes another deranged individual to shoot and kill. Thank God she is going to Arizona, we sure don't want her here in New York. Watch how she has her hand out accepting so called political donations for her personal use all along the route. She should be allowed to follow the good people from Sanitation who have to clean up after this respectful march is over. She is a worse joke than Donald Trump. The most obvious selfish opportunist I have ever seen. Does anyone think this spectacle is respectful of this weekend of remembering our heros? How does she fit into this event? She belongs in the circus. Comeone Vets, speak up, put the brakes on this "-ITCH"
