Desert Storm - War Memorial
[On boulder]
In Honor of our
Desert Storm Veterans
1990 1991
[Dedication Plaque ]
May 17, 1992 - - a special dedication,
memories - - sweet n’ bitter recollections.
August 1990, U.S. troops deployed to a foreign land,
Saudia Arabia - - a country of sand.
To those who served with much pride,
hearts were with you - - serving by your side.
As hearts cried out “From a distance”,
“Let there be Peace” - - everyday we listened.
United States of America flags blew in the breeze,
yellow ribbons hung and prayers were sent overseas.
Feb. 28, 1991 - - the “Gulf War” had been won,
Pres. Bush sent troops home in March of 1991.
This Memorial Rock is more than a piece of cold stone,
It represents Love-Support-Thanks, you were not alone.
This Rock is dedicated to “Desert Storm Veterans”
we remember all who served in the wars of past,
“We are proud to be an American”
