Fourth of July Weekend 2009 Inspires Tribute and Thanks to Troops for Courage, Sacrifices and Successes in Iraq and Afghanistan.·

Fourth of July Weekend 2009 inspires tributes and thanks to our troops for courage, sacrifices and successes in Iraq and Afghanistan. What follows is but one example of such thanks felt and tribute paid to our troops in the hearts and minds of Americans:

When Freedom's at Peace on a Fourth of July then pure Celebration should blanket our skies. But now while our soldiers are risking their lives, and many so bravely for freedom have died, we owe it to them on this Fourth of July to show them our thanks for their noblest of lives.

So little they ask for so much that they give so we may in freedom continue to live, that more than just "thank you" to them we must give. The "more" they would want is not "something" to give: It's what's given best by our lives when we live in ways to be worthy of all they did give.

The "everyman" Private named "Ryan" perceived this insight returning to Normandy's beach by posing a question whose asking does teach the answer to what do we owe the deceased-- Asked Ryan, "Please tell me the life I did weave has honored the gift that from them I received."

Below is an embeddable video illustrating the sentiments expressed above. The box below also sets forth the text of the tribute in stanzas and lines.

Fourth of July Thanks.

When Freedom's at Peace on a Fourth of July

then pure Celebration should blanket our skies.
But now while our soldiers are risking their lives,

and many so bravely for freedom have died,
we owe it to them on this Fourth of July
to show them our thanks for their noblest of lives.

So little they ask for so much that they give
so we may in freedom continue to live,

that more than just "thank you" to them we must give.

The "more" they would want is not "something" to give:

It's what's given best by our lives when we live

in ways to be worthy of all they did give.

The "everyman" Private named "Ryan" perceived

this insight returning to Normandy's beach

by posing a question whose asking does teach

the answer to what do we owe the deceased--

Asked Ryan, "Please tell me the life I did weave

has honored the gift that from them I received."
