If you have visited my website before, you will know I have tried to share my feelings with you and support for our soldiers. The 'how and the why' is a constant reflection for me. I have had the following poem as an opening to my site from the beginning. I started to remove it, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that. This came as an email that I received and really wanted to share with as many people as I could. Many of us lose sight and become disheartened with the events of this day. Maybe this will help put things in perspective for you....... it helped me, and I hope in some way, it can help you.  

"I want you to close your eyes and picture in your mind the soldier at Valley Forge, as he holds his musket in his bloody hands. 

He stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his family surrounded by nothing but death and carnage of war. 

He stands tough, with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath. He looks at us now in anger and disgust and tells us this... 

I gave you a birthright of freedom born in the
Constitution and now your children graduate too illiterate to read it. 

I fought in the snow barefoot to give you the
freedom to vote and you stay at home because it rains. 

I left my family destitute to give you the freedom
of speech and you remain silent on critical issues, because it might be bad for business. 

I orphaned my children to give you a government to
serve you and it has stolen democracy from the people. 

It's the soldier not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press. 

It's the soldier not the poet who gives you the
freedom of speech. 

It's the soldier not the campus organizer who
allows you to demonstrate. 

It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the
flag, whose coffin is draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!!! 

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Prayer is the very best one....." 

Normally, this entrance to my website is not a soapbox. And, it is not now. I will always stand up for what I believe. This will be my opening page in honor of those that have served before us, and are serving us now. My thoughts and prayers are with them always. 

Real Estate is not something I just 'fell in to' - it has been a lifelong endeavor for me. I look forward to helping you attain your Real Estate goals. Please do not hesitate at any time to contact me whether by email, phone, or mail. 

My kindest regards,
Pamela
