SoldierWorks
A Tribute to those who fight to keep us free
"Freedom is never Free"
SoldierWorks is just that. Works by Soldiers from their War Experience; Soldier Stories, Soldier Poems, Soldier Songs, Stories of war, and War Stories. Our goal is to bring to the public the self published, or heretofore unpublished Story of War by those who actually experienced it. They never forget the Lost Soldier, the Wounded Soldier, or the Soldier that became a Friend forever on the Battlefields of time.

We at SoldierWorks thank the Friends at Online Solutions and Innovation for their help in getting this site back on the Net

SoldierWorks is an effort to bring stories of war that you
can find nowhere else. Here you will find here the words of those sent to war, who discovered their very soul, and wrote down the experience of it. If you have never seen combat except on on the big or small screen, you might consider the words of those that have seen it first hand. Wars simply refuse to go away, and the insight you will find here will be worth the time you spend.
Some Stories submitted by Vets will be added here from time to time, and those are free. The soldiers that fought the fight, and wrote those experiences down know what they were fighting for, and hope that you do too.

SoldierWorks has always intended to help our soldiers tell their story.
Some soldiers tell their story by publishing themselves, and at
their own expense.

This Commercial from Budweiser has met with some pretty harsh criticism that says they only honor our returning troops to sell beer. There are some of us though, that recall a time when America didn't remember returning troops at all, except to spit on them.
So, my thanks go to Budweiser, and the critics can go to therapy where they belong..
This stuff is America!
Vets, this Bud is for you

May God keep safe our defenders, and bring them home to their

Their sacrifices are beyond measure, but do not go unnoticed by those who reason

Veterans Day 2006
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers

Rugg's Outfitting
Ray Rugg served with the 191st Assault Helicopter Company commanding the First Flight Platoon in 1968 and 1969 in Vietnam as an Army Helicopter Pilot. His tour of duty in Vietnam complete, he left the unit and returned home to the family business that welcomes tourists and hunters to the wilds of Montana. If you want to ride, or raft, or hunt, or fish, you may want to consider Rugg's Outfitting

A Knight's Prayer
My Lord, I am ready on the threshold of this new day
to go forth armed with thy power, seeking adventure on the high road, to
right wrong, to overcome evil, to suffer wounds and endure pain if need be,
but in all things to serve thee bravely, faithfully, joyfully that at the
end of the day's labor, kneeling for thy blessing, thou mayest find no blot
upon my shield. This I ask through Jesus Christ Our Lord , who Livest and
reignest with God the Father in unity with the Holy Ghost, for all ages of
ages. Amen.
God Bless America
