Operation Just Cause ...for as long as it takes
*The POW Angel
I saw a mighty Angel
Dressed in pale green cammo
He held a sword so gleaming He said "I'm keeper of the truth You'll find my name at Arlington On a road outside Manila His hand on those in bondage Yet know as you step over
*"In memory of a true American Hero, Colonel "Nick" Rowe Army Special Forces"
by Marsha Burks Megehee
In early morning light
Just as I awakened
From a vivid dream of night
He wore a Green Beret
This mighty warrior Angel
I saw at break of day
I was blinded by its light
He held The Holy Bible
In his hand upon the right
A warrior from The Nam
I fought there with my brothers
I'll tell you who I am
In section forty-eight
My heart's in the Forest of Darkness
The hour is getting late
I found my journey's end
Look up ahead at times to come
God's judgement on the wind
Soft whispered hope is past
Step across that line there
Let freedom's die be cast
This banner you must raise
The standard of bound warriors
The black flag of POW/MIAs
I would like you to visit the following tribute to Marsha and her poetry.
