Love, Jt

Love, JT
We read your letters

From the Iraq desert

You say you can't wait for the new bleach record
But the hours here, can feel like years

Mom I miss your Perlo & Mac & Cheese
Sometimes it's gets old eating MRE's

But it's not so bad

When I get come can you make me a pan?
When you pray
Say one for me Love, JT

Me and my men we were out on a mission

We tried to help out all the women and children
The voice of hate rings loud

I wanna make you proud

I miss my brothers and I miss you mom & dad
You're the best family any man could have
Strange to be here

But I don't feel fear

When you pray, say one for me.
Love, JT

We pray you're safe

And soon we'll be together
Til that day we read

Your letter, letter, letters

How's the weather in Tennessee

Oh here its only 120 degrees

What I'd give for some cold sweet tea

At night the sky is full of stars and I lay wishing I was where you are
But God gives me peace
I trust His plan for me


When you pray say one for me
Love, JT

Chorus
July 23 2003

730 in the morning

Captain Joshua T Byers

Commander of Fox Troop was leading a convoy.
A blast erupted in the Iraq desert
He died while saving the lives of 2 of his men.
He was 29.

Two months later out of the blue

The last Letter came - addressed from you

From heaven down to earth

And we read each words

You were full of life and hopes and dreams
Of a world without tyranny

So clear and bright

That's why you gave your life

Chorus

We send our love JT
