A SHORT POEM YOU WON'T FORGET


"A bump in the road" .... remember that calloused statement?  I don't know
the author of this poem.. Received it today.  Very thought provoking and
poignant.  I do recall, however, the President referring to the Benghazi
incident as "a bump in the road."  Today I heard an ex-Navy Seal being
interviewed on Fox News regarding a book he has written about how to handle
crisis situations in our lives.  At the end of the interview he asked if he
could make a comment on Benghazi and of course the anchor said yes.  He then
thanked Fox News for keeping the Benghazi story in the news, since other
news organizations are not.  He said the Seals who died deserve the public
knowing the truth about the whole affair.

The poem was written by a MARINE CORPS Officer (ANON).


THE BATTLING BOYS OF BENGHAZI

We're the battling boys of Benghazi
No fame, no glory, no paparazzi.
Just a fiery death in a blazing hell
Defending our country we loved so well.
It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the Consulate and scaled the wall.

We pulled twenty Countrymen from the jaws of fate
Led them to safety, and stood at the gate.
Just the two of us, and foes by the score,
But we stood fast to bar the door.
Three calls for reinforcement, but all were denied,
So we fought, and we fought, and we fought 'til we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
But Barack Obama didn't give a damn.
Just two dead seals who carried the load
No thanks to us.........we were just "Bumps In The Road".


So will this reach every American with a computer?  Or do we act like the
press and give a pass to the incompetent people who literally sat there in
the White House and watched the Seal's execution on live streaming video and
did absolutely nothing?  The Obama Administration obviously won't be held
accountable because we apparently accept Hillary Clinton's statement, "What
difference does it make?"

Please know Americans do care about the fallen who were not helped. Don't give up hope that those responsible will be punished. My heart is with you and I am following everything. We are not just ignoring the terrible things that are being done to humanity or the fallen seals. God Bless you. May God hold them in his kingdom. Much Love from an American.
