A Special Man

A Special Man Cyber Joe There is this special man that I want to talk about. A lot of people knew him. He went by the name of Cyber Joe. I met him some years back. We used to read eachother's poems. Through his poetry - I got to know him pretty well. We used to communicate. He has a heart of gold. I never saw his picture, but I have looked into his soul. He went to many places and traveled to many lands. He probably saw things, that none of us would even dream. He flew high in the skies and close to the Heavens too. He always came back to Earth. His job here was not yet done. He made a lot of friends. I know that for a fact. He will never be forgotten and I can bet on that. He was a great MARINE That served his Country well. One of the FEW GOOD MEN That helped this Country, gain more strength. Today with humble words, I want to say - thank you Joe, thank you. To you and the rest of the FEW GOOD MEN, we owe our freedom to, because we would not have any freedom - if it haddn't been for you. Thanks to all of you out there that put your life on the line for us....

A good friend of mine, who was a soldier, died a few days in Afghanistan. The news hit me hard and I wrote about it in For Thomas. Love your tribute! I can really connect with it at the moment...
