[Missouri-l] "For America"

[KCAgape at aol.com]

The late Jack Buck was more than a play-by-play announcer for the St. Louis 
 Cardinals.  After the 911 attacks he wrote "For America" -- And now you  
know why some of us on the western side of Missouri respect this man much as 
you  do over in St. Louis.
 
 

Since this nation was founded under  
God, more than 200 years ago, 

We've been the bastion of  
Freedom... 

The light which keeps the free world  
Aglow. 

We do not covet the possessions of  
Others, we are blessed with the  
Bounty we share. 

We have rushed to help other  
Nations...anything...anytime...  
Anywhere. 

War is just not our nature...we  
Won't start, but we will end the fight. 

If we are involved we shall be  
Resolved to protect what we know is  
Right. 

We've been challenged by a  
Cowardly foe, who strikes and then  
Hides from our view. 

With one voice we say there's no  
Choice today, there is only one  
Thing to do. 

Everyone is saying the same thing  
And praying that we end these  
Senseless moments we are living. 

As our fathers did before, we shall  
Win this unwanted war. 

And our children will enjoy the  
Future, we'll be giving.
