Marine Mom and June Snapshots

June 19, 2009

 

Hi. I've just a few shots I took during June.  My favorite of this bunch is the Audio/Visual office door.  It has been proudly decorated by our Audio/Visual Technician at school.  I really had to smile seeing the old Reagan poster...it brough on a rush of memories. 

BTW .... I'm a proud Marine Mom who just wants to show my appreciation to our military men and women ... and military families.  I started taking photos of the U.S. Flag a little over a year ago, and during that time I've found that signs of patriotism are of plenty in my neighborhood!  I've enjoyed capturing these images and now I feel naked without my camera.  I hope you enjoy the photos. Please feel free to comment ... even just to say "Hi."  It gets a little lonely taking to myself.Wink

Please join me in the celebration!  Do you have an original poem celebrating our Flag or an original poem about our troops?  Do you have original photos of Old Glory? I would love to include them here as a way to recognize our enduring freedom and a way to say "thank you" to those men and women who have served and are serving our courtry.  (Credit given to all contributors)  Cool Comments are always welcome.  If interested in having your poem or photo included in the Old Glory Parade, I can be reached at:

Beholding Beyond Words ... lyrics by Jerry Calow

February 18, 2009

 Note from Jerry Calow:

 "I wrote this song to thank Our Troops and would be

honored if you choose to post it on your Patriotic Site.

I thank you and God Bless!"

***

Dear Jerry, 

It is my pleasure and honor to post your song.

Thank you,

Jeanne

     Beholding Beyond Words

Beholding Beyond Words To Our Servicemen And Women
Stationed Around The World In Far Away Places
There¹s Not Much We Can Say To Thank Them Enough
For What They Go Thru Each Day In The Rough

  But: Give Them Our Thanks
  Give Them Our Love
  Give Them Our Regards
  For a Safe Return

We Praise and Raise Our Hands To You
That Earned the Honor That We Now Bestow
We Salute You For A Job Bravely Done
And Applaud Your Courage In The Face Of The Unknown

  Defending Freedom
  Defending Liberty
  Defending Peace 
  At Home And Abroad

For The Past, Present, And Future Generations
Duty Will Always Be An Honorable Citation
To Stand The Ground That Freedom Upholds
To Endure Engagements Where Ever They Unfold

   Defending Freedom
   Defending Liberty
   Defending Peace
   At Home And Abroad
         
For Those MIA¹S, POW¹S,
Fallen Soldiers, Who Gave All They Could
We Will Search For As Long As It Takes
You Are Not Forgotten And Will Always Be

    In Our Hearts
    In Our Prayers
    In Our Minds
    For All Time

These Immortalized Soldiers Whose Bravery Abounds
They Are Sisters, Brothers Heroes Profound
They Enlisted For The Duty At Hand
To Serve The Cause Of Country And Land

     They Serve With Honor
     They Serve With Valor
     They Serve With A Pride
     That Will Change Them Forever

To Our Forces Standing Tall And Proud They Be
Our Country¹s Behind Them In A Solemn Sea
So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly
Unfurled In Their Majesty High

    In The Sun
    In The Rain
    In The Wind
    Across This Land

These Are The Things Our Country¹s Made of
These Are The Things We Cherish And Love
So Let The Flags Of Freedom Fly
Unfurled In Their Majesty High

     In The Sun
     In The Rain
     In The Winds
     For All Time

Jerry Calow  ( Copyright 2003 )

Army Recruiting Poster 1940's

February 11, 2009

 

Dad in the Army ... (but  retired from the Navy Cool ...) This is a photo of a picture actually used for recruiting poster.  We don't have the poster .... I guess no one thought to save in back then.  Wish we did.  

Dad is the soldier holding the lighter.  Taken late 1940's after W.W.II in which my father served in the Navy.  After serving in the Navy (Seabees) during WWII he did a 4 year stint in the Army...to return later to the Navy and retire after 28 years of service as a Seabee.

Diamond Laundry and Cleaners .... best military crease in town

December 30, 2008

 

On my sons first leave home after Boot Camp, he had all his newly issued uniforms and they all needed to be dry cleaned.  I called at least 7... maybe more ... dry cleaning establishments, getting less than enthusiastic or confused responses when I asked each if they cleaned military uniforms.  I was feeling very uneasy about turning my sons Dress Blues over until I called Diamond Laundry and Cleaners.  To my question "Do you dry clean military uniforms?" I got an enthrusiatic reply .........."Yes, bring them right in."  

Diamond Laundry and Cleaners

398 W San Carlos St.  ... San Jose

Family owned and operated since 1931 ............ Customer Service like it should be and the best military crease in town!!

My son is home again on Leave  ... and of course we returned to Diamond Laundry and Cleaners....... ! Cool

Remember Their Sacrifice - Veterans' Day 2008

November 10, 2008

 

 To Give

They give  to us their future ... submit to us tender years,
bequeath to us days which do not hold the measure of realization,
lives that fly the course of intimacy with one definitive breath
They give
     hopes whose run will no longer chase a callow heart
     until that heart winds a promised path

To own
     none but these unpolished days
     faith and silence press time upon their heavy lids
     a shadow of tomorrow,
     the measure of what road laid ahead before this hour

A brother’s arms to embrace
a brother’s hand to release
trickle of water over lips
     High sun blinds as he’s tossed into the air.
     Wiggling,
     laughing too loud
     he lands in his father’s hands.
     One more time Daddy. . . One more time.

as sands sift through fingers

Give
Your tears

Give
A prayer of evolution



copywrite jeanne rené 11/04 

 

 

~ There much more than just this page ... so please wander through the archives 

 

 My dad in the Phillipines during WWII...

Thank you to my father, Eugene (Navy Sea Bees) ... my father-in-law, Dwight (Navy)  ... my Uncle Joe (Army) .... my Uncle Gene (Air Force)  - all WWII vets.

Thank to my Uncle John ... who served during the Cold War: Army

Thank to my husband, Marty ... who served during the Viet Nam War: Army

Thank you to my son, Johnny, now serving: Marines ....

... and to his long time friends George & Brian now serving: Marines

Thank you to our neighbors, Bill and Alex now serving: Army ......

Thank you to all who have served and are now serving in our armed forces.  Thank you for faithfully and selflessly protecting our freedom . God Bless.

 

I there is anyone you would like to thank on this Veterans' Day ... please feel free to do so here.

 

a silence . . . without name 

he slips out of penny-loafers,
shiny new coin catching his eye
tugs at woolen socks
tucking them deep into the toe
shoes dangling from two fingers

        God is quiet

so he stands as if time has ended
he and the sea suspended in its ebb, waiting to surge

gulls shriek over head
setting free the flow
and he studies their commotion squint-eyed
against the declining sun

placing his shoes gently on the sand
he rights himself
cursing his arthritis
with a hand on his hip

and so begins
one step at a time
one foot falls front of the other
the walk into this final baptism
cleansed
khakis clinging to his calves
toes gripping the sand
he remembers the force of the tide

        on the sea’s horizon
        he spies God’s sails ~ as he did then
        and his eye is captive

he turns
scrutinizing the shore
"here . . .
as far as one could see”

      huddled
      the silenced and littered ... assembled,
      gawking into the face of humanity

lip quivers
chin drops
looking down at the sea grasses
now wrapped around his legs
he abides in the truth

    "it was here"

he first prayed
but today
turning his back to the surf
he listens to the reply
of the breaking waves

and the shifting sands
of Normandy

While browsing YouTube I found ... and a poem

October 11, 2008

 

... Please Remember Me

Sung by Loreena McKinnit 

A tribute to our fallen troops .... put together by mausergirl

 

 
 
The Ultimate Sacrifice by Lisa Milligan  ... than you Lisa for sharing you poem with us!
 

Because of you
we can get up every morning
and go to work
run errands at lunch time
drive through McDonald’s
fill up our gas tanks
and make it back to work
just in time

Because of you
we don’t have houses
we have homes
where we walk through the door
the dog jumps on us
as do our children
we hug our spouses
and smell dinner cooking

Because of you
we have artwork from Kindergarten
and shopping lists
hanging on the refrigerator
along with pictures held up with tape or magnets
school pictures, pictures of Gramma and Grampa
pictures of babies, kittens, and teenagers
dressed for the prom

Because of you
we gather around the dinner table
play in the backyard with our kids
feed the cat, walk the dog
splash water on our children in the tub
then tuck them into bed with hugs and kisses
and reassurance there are no monsters
in closets or under beds

Because of you
with the children asleep
and the dishes all done
men make love to their wives
wives make love to their husbands
and drift off to sleep intertwined
feeling life is good, all is well
and we are safe

Because of you
we are safe
we can sit in fields watching our kids play soccer
or in the stands watching or kids play hockey
we can grill hamburgers and hot dogs
eat potato salad and cole slaw
drink ice cold beer
and play pool while the kids run through sprinklers

Because of you
we must remember
to have a moment of silence on Memorial Day
to remember your sacrifice
and your family’s
and to thank you that we get to live these lives
sometimes eventful, sometimes uneventful
but always full of possibilities

Because of you 
 
***
