From Andy: I am now retired due to catastropic motorcycle wreck leaving me pretty crippled up. I now have more time to spend with my 7 grandchildren soon to be 8. here is a poem for memorial day that i wrote a while back and my friend Scott Vaughn put to music.

Freedom
I met a man I did not know beside a long black wall. And as he reached to touch its face a tear begin to fall. I too was there the man exclaimed. And as he wept I knew we shared a fate for though we lived our names could be there too.
We paused a moment silently and then he turned to say, its been so long but still I see it clear as yesterday. The bullets screaming by my head. The thought that I might die. But then they took one next to me. No time to wonder why.
He reached to touch a faceless name and then he bowed his head. Had this one not been there for me I surely would be dead. I thought to find the words that I might say to ease his pain. But I like he knew all too well forgetting is in vain.
For on that wall resides the names of all of those who fell. So long ago. So far away. But their stories we must tell to all our children so tht they will know, not just believe, that freedom is for everyone but freedom is not free.
