please make a "SUPREME SACRIFICE" for our troops

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Ten thousand young men and women come home from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other zones of conflict every month. They've served our country well, and have made sacrifices - of health, of family, of livelihood - that most of us will never have to make.



NOW IT'S OUR TURN;

To step up to the plate and GIVE.

The players and owners of Major League Baseball have contributed their time and resources to help returning soldiers and their families through Welcome Back Veterans. Now it's up to us to join the effort and do our part by giving generously.

Major League Baseball and the McCormick Foundation have launched Welcome Back Veterans, an initiative designed to raise public awareness about issues facing today's veterans, and to raise funds to support programs and services that these returning soldiers need to repair and restore their lives.

To encourage giving, the McCormick Foundation will match the first $4 million raised, at 50 percent. In addition, Major League Baseball and McCormick are paying all expenses associated with this initiative, so that 100 percent of the funds raised, plus the matching dollars, will go to programs and services for veterans.

The next step is up to you.

Every night Im lyin in bed
Holdin you close in my dreams
Thinkin about all the things that we said
AND comin apart at the seams
We now can talk it over
and the words won't come out rough
I know you are tryin
To give me the best of your love

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we lived
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we will now rise above
Because here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin, you get the best of my love

Im goin back in time
AND its a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I will be all right
when I can go on sleepin
But every morning
I'll wake without worry
Whats gonna happen today
I'll see it your way
And you'll see it mine
So we won't see it slippin away

You KNOW we'll always have each other baby
I know that will BE enough
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin
You get the best of my love
Oh, Sweet Darling
You get the best of my love
Every night and day,
You get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin you get the best of my love
Oh, sweet darlin you get the best of my love...
