America's Sons Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Pat Tillman, a soldier, a hero, personifying all men
and women serving their time in the military, fighting
our war for freedom and democracy.

Hearts being wrenched and squeezed tightly as announce-
ments come over our televisions reporting deaths of
people we have never met or known, yet who have
sacrificed their lives, families, friends, to keep the
rest of us safe.

All servicepersons are reflected in Pat Tillman - all
are inherently one.

They are all our sons and daughters, because we're all
Americans.
