Will you participate?

I came across these poems this morning and I was inspired. I was hoping I could get my readers to participate in this with me. I want to start doing a segment here once a week, where I will feature a military significant other. He/She can post whatever they like, your favorite pictures, artwork, a poem, a story, a song that helps them through the rough times, even just some advice for others, or be creative and share them all! Will any of you participate? If you have something you'd like to share be the first one to participate! E-mail me at MrsGambizzle@yahoo.com. It will be a great way to share your blog, and your story with others. I will feature your blog along with whatever it is you want to share, so start emailing me I can't wait to share your goodies!
 

:Navy:

My darling husband
My dear brave sailor
We must stay strong
To keep us together

The days may be long
The nights become later
We must stay focused
To keep us together

The sea is calling
And sooner or later
We must pray
To keep us together

When you come home
It'll be better
We will embrace
Our lives now, together 

  

~Army~

            Some people wonder why I do it

Why I wait for this man

It's because I'm proud of what he does

I love him because I can

This "toughest job" they speak of

I volunteered for it

I promised I would support him

He knows I'll never quit

Camouflage from head to toe

he's my hero through and through

Standing here so tall and proud

I love my soldier it's true

while he's gone

The days grow long

The nights are even longer

I tell myself everyday

the distance will make us stronger

It matters not how far he is

Nor how long he is gone

I'm waiting here with open arms

Whenever he comes home

but for now I patiently wait
I take it a day at a time
It's all worth it
To call that soldier mine

*Marines* 

You can keep your Army khaki

You can have your Navy blue

I have the world's best fighting man

to introduce to you

His uniform is different

The best you've ever seen
The German call him "Devil Dog"
His real name is Marine

He was born in San Diego

The place where God forgot

The sand is eighteen inches deep

The sun is blazing hot

He gets up every morning

before the rising sun

He'll run a hundred miles or more

Before the day is done

He's deadly with a rifle

A bayonet made of steel

He took the warrior's calling card

He's mastered how to kill

and when he gets to heaven

St. Peter he will tell

One more Marine reporting sir

I've served my time in hell

So listen all you girls

To what I have to say

Go find yourself a Marine

To love you every day

He'll hug you and kiss you

He'll treat you like a queen

There is no better fighting man 

Than a United States Marine
