Duty Calls
by Toni Becker and Brian Becker

They were high school sweethearts in Hometown, USA
David was a football star; Becky perfect in every way
Their love endured the college years, he proposed and she said yes
They walked out of that big brick church in a tux and wedding dress

Then the world turned a corner on a cold September morning
You see, David was a soldier�..

Duty calls, I�m on my way
I�d stand between you and the enemy any day
Duty calls, I will defend
The honor of my nation, my family and friends�
Duty calls

This story is unfolding a thousand times a day
They may be different circumstances but the bottom line remains
They�re trading all their comfort for a bunker in the sand
Where they will risk their lives for the freedom of every man

Because the world turned a corner on a cold September morning
I hear the cry of a soldier�..

Duty calls, I�m on my way
I�d stand between you and the enemy any day
Duty calls, I will defend
The honor of my nation, my family and friends�
Duty calls

My boots will fill the footsteps of the brave who�ve gone before
Their memory will remind me it�s a cause worth fighting for

As I was waiting patiently for all of my W-2’s to arrive so I could finish my taxes for 2006, I received a new form from the Missouri Department of Revenue called a 1099-G. Basically this is a form for you to claim your state tax refund from the previous year as income this year. For more information and to better understand the 1099-G you can go to the following web page
