My Father's Voice




United States Military Forces
American Patriots



It is through a little girls eyes, who grew up, with the plight of many Veteran's, whom were traumatized in some capacity, but especially, spinal chord injury's.



My Father's Voice

"Never Give Up"

Have you gone where a Veteran goes, when they need a helping hand?

Are you listening to their cries, echoing across the land?

Some went to war, some came home, many they did not

Some lay maimed in hospitals, that others have forgot.

Can you imagine how it feels, to be cleaned like a baby or hand fed your meals?

Some took drugs to ease the pain, nothin to lose, nothin to gain.

Some just gave up. Can you blame them?

I hear

My Father's Voice

"Why won't they help me?"

I am,
My Father's Voice

Semper Fi
Daddy,

Still carrying the torch!



I wrote this in 1989, after my Daddy passed on.

Daddy came to me in a dream, shortly after he passed.

He was no longer paralyzed. He was walking again.

In the dream, he repeatedly told me

"Never give up" "Never give up"

At the time, I didn't understand the significance of his words.

I understand now.

I have never forgotten the dream.

I will never forget, I will never give up.

In Memory of Gysgt. Edward Henry Yablinsky, author of
"Three Flags East"



Retired/Deceased, USMC, World War II, Korean and Viet Nam,
paralyzed, 100% disabled veteran

and

Dedicated to all men and women, who serve, have served,
fighting for our freedom.

You are Not, Forgotten!



When Daddy was alive, he gave to many Non Profit Charities and the Veteran's organizations, monthly.

He always had compassion for others and never felt sorry for himself, nor wanted pity for himself.

He was and always will be, The Few, The Proud, The Gunny!


Did you know there are many Non profit organizations in our country?

That many are Veteran's?

Who take care of themselves, and rely on donation's to assist not only veterans, but others less fortunate, in our communities?

America’s hero's need your help.

These are our hero's.

They fought for all of us

#CSINY Gary Sinise


&

The Paralyzed Veteran's of America,


is just one of many such organizations, helping our communities and those who have served our country.

They and their families have made "unbelievable" sacrifices for us!


Do you hear their voices?

Will you help?

Thanks for your comment, bluestarmom. I agree with you and I'm planning on writing an entry on that now that you've brought it to my attention.

Thanks for your support of PVA. I am a life member and Vietnam Vet. This is my first post ever and I will leave with a question.

How can one Republican Senator from Texas block passage of S 1963?

Will you support this important legislation to provide much needed care to veterans?

That is a very touching post. You must be outraged at what our federal government has become. A little girl in 1965... I was 9. I remember, though it didn't touch me as closely as it did you. My focus is in a different direction but God bless you in you work to reach out for our solders.

My dad was a WWII Vet also he fought in 7 battle campaigns from Anzio to Normandy His brother my uncle was killed at the battle of the Casserine Pass in North Africa.
What really bothers me the most is how complacent this country has grown to the cost of freedom.
Sorry if I offend any but we belly ache when we lose a couple of hundred men a month in Afgahistan. And the loss of life if even 1 is a terrible thing but when our fathers died tens of thousands in one day defending our freedoms it just irkes me that we are ready to pull out of Afgahistan when our enemy is still alive and well just waiting for the politicians to lose their resolve

I understand what you are saying Joseph! I don't like our troops being put in harms way, anywhere or anytime. What concerns me is the tremendous influx of people coming across our borders and the violence they bring with them. Many of them are being trained by hezbollah, terrorist and invading our nation. We need to protect our borders from anyone who wants to kill us.
