Citizen Soldier
"Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
George W. Bush

Stairway to Heaven
In Memory of the New York Firefighters
They were on their way to Heaven as they hurried up the stairs,
Not only were they heroes, they were angels unaware.
Just going about their duties as they had so many times before,
Little did they realize they were soldiers in a war.
As the victims fled the buildings on that tragic fateful day,
These brave men hurried past them with no thought to harm's way.
We can hear the bagpipes clearly as they play "Amazing Grace",
In salute to fallen comrades who are in a better place.
We can see their fearless faces as up those stairs they trod,
Right into the gates of Heaven and before the throne of God.
—Sue Ikerd
