Sat, 22 Nov 2008 09:16:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 http://davidjeffers.thevanguard.org/104/and-then-one-day/#comment-1660 Cliff Jones Mon, 24 Sep 2007 04:40:30 +0000 http://davidjeffers.thevanguard.org/104/and-then-one-day/#comment-1660 Sgt Tony Johnston has bravely put down in words the raw and painful emotions and expericences we here at home will probably never experience. His devotion to his country, his dedication to caring for others, and his tender heart comes through loud and clear. I admire the crystal clear vulnerability Sgt Tony exhibits as he throws open the door to his heart. A heart that is bigger than any anti-war protestor, bigger than the surrender crowd, bigger than the arrogant Senators who pass judgement on these brave men, without ever knowing who they are, how much then care, the dedication they have to victory. I Praise the Lord for brave and courageous men like Sgt Tony, like those of old who were "men of whom the world was not worthy". Keep the faith Sgt Tony and may God bring you the peace that passes all understanding as he has promised us in his Word.

Tony Johnston's touching elegy and Eddie's expressive prose, I wonder if the average American understands the depth of talent and understanding possessed by the people that serve us, better than we deserve, in the US military. Our military not only serves to protect us; they serve to enlighten us, inform us, and raise us up. The more you know of our uniformed heroes, the more impressed you'll be. I never cease to be amazed. Having read Sgt.

I am usually not very good at understanding poetry- but I certainly had no trouble with this. It's beautiful~ Sad but hopeful. I look forward to the rest. Thank you. Carolyn Hi Dave- Hi Tony.
