Response to Very Happy Indeed

Savannah, Welcome home! It is our pleasure to host you in the Great Nation of the Republic of the State of Texas. It is great news to hear of your return.

Let me share an excerpt from a poem, Welcome Home! written by another hero from a time gone by that conveys my feelings for your return.

Welcome home my honored soldier
Gallant savior
Responsible for the very air I breathe
Who once dauntless, a beloved homeland did leave
Sent to battlefields nourished by blood uncouth...
Forsaking forever flowers of fairest youth
Your heart bearing grave spirit’s brave
Sent forth simply, our way-of-life to save...
Welcome home!
