Operation Just Cause...                                                      ...for as long as it takes



Climbing to the Top
by Barbara Fitzgerald-Malone

We're going on a journey,
We have a bridge to cross.
There are those that are among us
Who have survived a great loss.

We're trying to see justice done,
We're fighting tooth and nail.
Ahead of us a mountain stands,
That we've resolved to scale.

We have accomplished many things,
There's much more to be done
In minor conflicts we've prevailed,
But the battle's not yet won.

We'll face all of the obstacles
That surely lay ahead
We won't give up until we've said
All that needs to be said

We have to make them understand
And put them to the test
Until they are all home again
We are not going to rest.

To account for every single one
Who did not make it home,
We must forge ahead together,
And make our presence known.

We'll reach our goal, we'll make it there
We won't leave the issue alone
Until they're all accounted for
And we say “Welcome Home!” `
