We send off our young men and women
To face our nation's foe
There's no place on the planet
Where they dare not go
And though they serve as we ask them
Wherever our Presence must roam
Every heart that we dispatch
We pray will come back home.
COMING HOME
By Jim & Shelby Thomas
Throughout our nation's history,
Our armed forces
Have served in conflicts and returned.
This reflective memorial is dedicated by
VFW Hill Country Post # 6795 and
The City of Jonestown in the
Spring of 2003.
