COMMANDER’S CORNER This week I’d like to put in the Commander’s Comer a poem written by Beth Karasek. It's titled "Priorities” which I think is very appropriate. Priortfes "Freedom is endangered!” said the men in Washington. "Sound the battle cry, and call them one by one!” "Give up your home and friends, your job, your child, your wife. Give up your plans and future hopes and join the battle strife!” We answered once, then twice, and many times again. We answered those men in Washinton, again, again, and again. "A job well done,” they said, "We offer you our praise, And help for your suffering and loss, throughout your coming days.” "You fought the enemies of freedom, andd fought with all your might. You shall have a place to heal, you have earned the right.” Time has passed, and memories fade away. Another cry comes from Washington, today. "Cut the budget! We know the place!” "We need the money for outer space.” They sit in parks on benches, on curbs with heads hung low, These leftovers from our wars with nowhere to go. These are men, not trash, to discard when you’re through. Oh, you men in Washington, they put their trust in you.
