Whithin the last 10 years--i have moved several times--and every single time, the following poem has been put on my fridge first thing. Because it's SO deep-SO Important -you think of those--- -"Who Gave All" So i want to share it with you guys--the author is unknown and i hope that they don't mind that i am going to replace "Marine" with "Soldier" because this is the story of ALL of our Brave Men and Women The Final Inspection ~The Soldier stood and faced God, which must always come to pass ~He hoped his shoes were shining, as brightly as his brass ~"Step forward now, Soldier, how shall I deal with you?" ~"Have you turned the other cheek, to My Church have you been true?" ~The Soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord I guess I ain't" ~"Because those of us who carry guns, can't always be a Saint" ~"I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my talk was tough" ~"And sometimes I've been violent, because the world is awfully rough" ~"But, I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep..." ~"Though I worked alot of overtime, when the bills just got too steep" ~"I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear" ~"And sometimes, God Forgive Me, I wept unmanly tears" ~"I know I don't deserve a place, among the people here" ~"They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears" ~"If You've a place here, Lord, it needn't be so grand" ~"I never expected or had too much, but if You don't, I'll understand" ~There was silence all around the throne, where Saints had often trod ~As the Soldier waited quietly, for the judgement of his God ~"Step forward now you Soldier, You've borne your burdens well" ~"Walk Peacefully on Heaven's streets" ~"You've done Your time in Hell."

American Bad Ass is Right!!! Another tear is being shed for yet another Fallen Hero. Words can never enough say for what my heart feels of what has been given by the ultimate sacrifice that has been made once again for us, we the people! May you rest in peace Sgt. Micheal K. Ingram with much love and respect! Much sympathy to your family, friends and your brothers/sisters in arms. I just reflected back to when I saw The Kid Rock Revival Tour a few years ago and he had our Military come out at the begining of the show and pay respect to the Fallen Heroes, it touched me greatly then as it still does now and always will! God Bless

Thank you, Bobby for extending sympathy on behalf of myself and your fans. It's a sure bet you and Mikie came from the same page, in the same 'Book'. Hearts of gold, you two have. Detroit's Finest. God's Blessings and Strength to Mikie's family & friends. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ~ A Special "Thank You" to whomever posted this photo on Facebook, whomever brought it to your attention ... and to You Bobby, for All your Love ... & ... for keepin' it real.

Thank you so much for posting this. I need to look at this everyday. It gets to be too easy to gloss over those in the military in my prayers, but this reminder is precious. Thank you again.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, too. I went to the link you provided, what a wonderful opportunity for the rest of us to help support our troops, helping to keep them connected to their families. Hopefully at least a few of Kid Rock's fans will donate to this fund. Remember, even a couple of bucks from many of us adds up to a whole lot of $$$$$$! God Bless Our Troops!!

As many of these that I write, it nevers gets easier. My condolences goes out to the family & the friends of this admiral man. I am so, so sorry for your loss. I hope knowing he's watching from Heaven gives somes solace. It takes a special person to suit up for the love of their country. I thank him for his duty and for you, his parents, for raising such a fine young man.

Only the good die young.....Words can't express the gratitude that we can all share together and get to live to enjoy the freedom that these fine young handsome men (and women) give us. Just another flower that God has picked for his heavenly garden....where our true FREEDOM and real HOME is! God Bless, and may the light and the peace of Christ be with you always! Amen.
