Honoring Marine Capt. Joshua S. Meadows who selflessly sacrificed his life five years ago ON (Sept. 05, 2009), today in Afghanistan for our great Country. Please help me honor him so that he is not forgotten.
I found this on pinterest.com. It was probably pinned there by a family member or friend. The caption was on the original post.
The A-10 is my favorite of our close air support aircraft. I think it’s the unique sound of the gatlan firing 50 mm rounds that travel faster than the speed of sound. If you hear that distinct sound, you’re either gonna be ecstatic for the air support, or you’re looking for a place to hide which btw, would be waste of time–running will only get you tired–there’s little that survive an A-10 strike.
Many of our love ones are off to war
They leave us behind for distance shores
They seek out our enemies to even the score
But some of them we may never see once more
We give them our thanks and pray each day
For God to watch over them while they are away
We known they will do their duty for they are brave
To fight those who would make of us their slave
It is the Armed Forces who fight to keep us free
For they are willing to die for you and me
They will do their duty until victory is achieved
Only then will they be allowed to grieve
They are my heroes, so young, so brave and true
Fighting to protect our flag, the red, white and blue
It is through them the American Spirit is renewed
And recognition for their sacrifices is long overdue

However, improvements were made to the original prototype and tanks eventually transformed military battlefields. Read more
