What I Gave

What I Gave Dr. James E. Martin ©June 28, 2014 Many have given much in service to this land Though some perhaps thought it not very grand. I never really quite understood How service to country could be considered not good. I for one gave much of my life Even after meeting my supportive wife. Thirty eight years, as a matter of fact If possible now I’d similarly react. Question my motives if you will I’ll remain proud of my service still. The Air Force certainly served me well There are many, many stories I could tell. It was there I grew to be a man All according to God’s great plan. Now in the sunset years of my life I reflect on these years with no inward strife.
