The Real Deal


3/15/2024 For All My VA Brothers Clovis, CA JLW [486T]

I am perfectly human
that is to say
perfectly imperfect
and blessed with being
the absolute best
I can be

I am the real deal
I have the integrity
to say what I mean
and to mean what I say
(or what I write)
plus the steel in my backbone
to keep my promises
sealed with a hand shake
or with a kiss – depending

and yes
still today
I would defend
our “Grand Old Flag”
and our “Sacred Honor”
with my life
come to that
