A Melodic Marine

Before his legs carried him 
With strides that are long
His delightful little voice 
Was nare without song
He lived in a world
Where momma taught
Right versus wrong
Bones, muscles and minds
Grew progressively strong


He learned that singing
Was the way angels pray
So upon the piano
His sister did play
As papa danced a bow
on the fiddle
In his own special way
Many deep voices
Joined in so they say


Round about the time
Hair sprouted on his face
His tiny tenor voice
Nature did replace
Where once before
No note was too high
It was now harmonious bass
That bellowed out
Amazing Grace


Off to fight evil
With modern weapon in hand
Marching and singing
Now in distant sand
With thoughts drifting
Back to a lone sister
but a family well manned
And daisy filled meadows
Exactly as God planned

Don’t think for an instant
His tunes aren’t missing
By those who carry him
As one of life’s blessings
A voice soothing and low
Is heard by many hearts
Free to listen
And in peaceful dreams 
His songs do their caressing 

thank you to knightofnosleep its awewome

"San Antonio - His first glimpse in the mirror was largely a blur.

Sgt. Darron Mikeworth had just come out of a drug-induced coma - his mind was still in a fog and he was so weak he could barely stand.

Three weeks before, in Iraq, a suicide bomber had raced up to the right side of his Humvee, igniting a barrel of explosives that tore into the machine gunner's face. He nearly died.

Mikeworth awoke in a hospital bed, thousands of miles away.

He was relieved he still had his arms and legs. He was thrilled, too, that his ears had survived the blast. But he had wounds he could not see, life-changing wounds. His wife, Dea, helped break the news: His face was in bad shape. His left eye was useless.

And there was more.

At first, Mikeworth was too groggy to absorb it all. He was caught up in hallucinations of basketball players shooting hoops in the hospital, of cars on the highway floating in air. He didn't know what was fantasy and what wasn't - until he shuffled into the physical therapy room and stood numbly before a full-length mirror.

"I just had to keep telling myself I'm NOT going to wake up out of this one," he says. "THIS is not a dream. THIS is real."

His head was one giant purple bruise, his eyelids were nearly swollen shut. His left eye had been removed (he'd given his OK from his hospital bed.) His eyelashes and most of his eyebrows were singed off; so, too, was his hair halfway back on his scalp. His nose was mostly gone, just a sliver of cartilage remaining; skeletal-like bones revealed his sinuses. His top right lip was curled into a snarl, making it impossible to close his mouth. His right jaw was torn. His bottom teeth, loosened by the blast, were wired together...."

Radio talk show host Michael Savage has teamed up with the Thomas More

Law Center of Ann Arbor, Mich., to file a lawsuit against Department of

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. "It is a civil rights action

brought under the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States

Constitution, challenging the policy, practice, and custom of the United States

Government that targets for disfavored treatment those individuals and

groups that are considered to be 'rightwing extremists,'" the complaint

announced today said. Become part of WND's re-declaration of our founders'

intent to be an independent nation The federal agency recently targeted those

individuals in its report called "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and

Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment

According to the federal government, members of the suspect group of people

include those who: Oppose restrictions on firearms Oppose lax immigration

Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship

and the expansion of social programs Oppose continuation of free trade

agreements Oppose same-sex marriage Have paranoia of foreign regimes

Fear Communist regimes Oppose one world government Bemoan the decline

of U.S. stature in the world Are upset with the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs

to China and India The case seeks a declaration that the DHS policy violates

the First and Fifth Amendments, a court order permanently enjoining the

policy and its application to the plaintiffs' speech and other activities, and the

award of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. WND had reported earlier on

the report and the reaction it has drawn, including just a day ago when the

Law Center said it had submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the

DHS, demanding to know why it calls Americans who oppose abortion,

support the 2nd Amendment and dislike lax immigration "extremists." "This is

not an intelligence report but a diatribe against those who oppose the policies

of the Obama administration," Richard Thompson, president and chief

counsel for the organization, said of the request. "It is a declaration of war

against the American people and our constitution. It is a prelude to extreme

gun control legislation and hate speech laws targeting Christian churches and

others who oppose abortion and same sex marriage," he continued. "The

federal government should be focusing its attention on the 35 radical Muslim

compounds in the U.S. training its followers on how to kidnap and kill

Americans." Are you ready for a second Declaration of Independence? Sign

the petition promoting true freedom once again! Amy Kudwa, a spokeswoman

for the DHS, said the agency as a matter of policy doesn't comment on

pending litigation. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the

Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Savage, Gregg Cunningham of the

pro-life Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and Iraqi War Marine veteran Kevin

Murray. The federal agency's action "encourages law enforcement officers

throughout the nation to target and report citizens to federal officials as

suspicious rightwing extremists and potential terrorists because of their

political beliefs." "The report even admits that the department has no specific

information on any plans of violence by so-called 'rightwing extremists.'

Rather, what they do have is the expression of political opinions by certain

individuals and organizations that oppose the Obama administration’s

policies, and this expression is protected speech under the First Amendment,"

Thompson said. "Janet Napolitano is lying to the American people when she

says the report is not based on ideology or political beliefs. In fact, her report

would have the admiration of any current or past dictator in the way it targets

political opponents," he said. The action alleges the policy "is a tool of

intimidation for federal, state, and local government officials. It provides a

basis for government officials to abuse their positions of power to stifle

political opinion and opposition." "Pursuant to the 'Rightwing Extremism

Policy,' federal officials will work with state, local, tribal, and private sector

entities to conduct surveillance and to gather information in order to deter the

activities of those individuals and groups considered to be 'rightwing

extremists,'" the case said. The agency's intention is to enforce the policy

through "state and local fusion centers, which are local intelligence centers

created by DHS to combat 'terrorism' and related activities that are deemed to

be 'criminal,'" the case said. Napolitano, on a Fox News appearance today,

backtracked a little, saying, "To the extent veterans read it as an accusation …

an apology is owed."
