Sometime it's nice to miss what you are waiting for?

Underway chasing the horizon passing diamonds on the way Floating along safe in a steel palace painted battleship grey Smoking lamp lit mostly it's not drilling and counting moving cargo about Looking at warships designed to go in harms way Me just on a target just trying to stay out of the way We di our jobs and had some laughs always kept a wary eye never fired a shot nor provoked a glance just floated on the waves We were warriors fighting a war that wasn't oh so hot so we just held our breaths contemplating what if We knew that we would have no home-port to return If Trinity was called This is for those that waited and served crossed fingered on the wall Thank you for any coments L21 should be "what if " removed "first shot" instead

  9. you are a mighty warship on a peaceful morning cruise perhaps your war is over but somehow we all lose even if victorious we lay down our arms the fighting just starts up again i'm waiting for the alarm...
  10. You were trained and ready; that's what an armed force is. You described the camaraderie as well as any I've seen - and the anxiety of not knowing from one day to the next, or one hour.
  11. Thanks, hugs, and a big pat on the back. God Bless all who serve.

  14. Reminds me of the Merchant Marine - delivering goods (in war zones) - arms being minimal - due to the demand on space. ♥ http://www.dvrbs.com/monuments/camden/CamdenMMbacktosea.jpg

  16. This reminded me of a 'short calendar' my paternal grandfather kept in Korea. He still has it.
