In thoughts of all those who have given all that could be given for our freedoms, our beliefs, our futures and in thoughts of their families, loved ones, friends and fellow soldiers. Thank You. We Will Remember

Etched in history's past hundred years
Is freedom's struggle forth
As nations stood allied to stand
To stop tyranny's closing doors
So many sons
Lay in far off lands
Never to return
Except in thoughts and memories shared
By their fellow soldiers, families, friends
What touches hearts still beating for
Those who stood that ground
Are those who shared their stories forth
Of a war that turned around
As years passed by
Nations share
A bond that cannot brake
Those who found freedom's door
Opened in their wake
Dear Lord, sons and daughters taught
Their children, of the past
Now years and years
So little's changed
Except the speed the news is passed
Yes war has changed
This past hundred years
As more and more have stood
Fallen near, that brethren strong
Freedom held so dear
I wish my tears could wash away
The reality war has shown
Shown to me, as one who cares
As one who's stood so near
One who allowed the tears to flow
As a mom talked and shared her love
For a fallen one
She held so dear
Now lifted high above
To continue caring, listening
As their daughters chatted so
And let me know
Of a love they held
For a dad who gave his all
His love
For his Nation dear
His all for a world to be
That which he would pass along
To his children strong and free
I stand with fallen angels
Their families, loved ones, friends
I stand with soldier bears who've heard
Over and over and over, again
I love you dad, I love you mom
I wish, you could come home
But now I know you look after me
From where ever angels go

By Roger Borchert For Remembrance Day 2016

My heart goes out to so many families who have shared with me, their journey to overcome such loss. My thanks to Britt and Sarah Stewart of Allan' s Angels Camp for introducing me to your soldier bears and letting me hear your dad say in his own voice good night to you even 3 years after his loss. My journey into 8 years of poetry and caring for the families of our fallen and wounded has taken so much of a bite out of me and left me so proud of our soldiers and their military families; I cannot turn away. Hugs to all: We Will Remember Them.

I didn't know Nathan but have 3 handsome sons, I look at pictures of Nathan, so goodlooking, so full of life, I can't imagine, what a wasted life, soooo sad, so sorry, rip nathan..

February 28, 2016

Nathan, I miss you dearly. You know this. I try to not regret the times we didn't share and only reflect on the good. We shared so many great times together. I am very grateful for all the laughs and inside jokes. They will always make me smile. We had a very special bond and we always will. We always knew what each other was thinking with just a look. If your Mom only knew the things we were actually laughing about. Usually it wasn't anything at all but it was always fun trying to get the evil eye. I always tried to help you out and give you the best advice I could, whether you asked for it or not. I never thought you'd be the one that taught me so much. I was always proud to say you were like a brother to me, no amount of time or space between us has ever changed that. Thank you for always being one of the most important people in my life. I love you, Nathan.
