I WAS THAT WHICH OTHERS DID NOT WANT TO BE.

I WENT WHERE OTHERS FEARED TO GO, AND DID WHAT OTHERS FAILED TO DO.

I ASKED NOTHING FROM THOSE WHO GAVE NOTHING, AND RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED THE THOUGHT OF ETERNAL LONELINESS...SHOULD I FAIL.

I HAVE SEEN THE FACE OF TERROR: FELT THE STINGING OF COLD FEAR: AND ENJOYED THE SWEET TASTE OF A MOMENTS LOVE.

I HAVE CRIED, PAINED AND HOPED...BUT MOST OF ALL,
I HAVE LIVED TIMES OTHERS WOULD SAY WERE BEST FORGOTTEN.

AT LEAST SOMEDAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SAY THAT I WAS PROUD OF WHAT I WAS...........A SOLDIER.

Seal of Honor

This is a prayer I say tonight
It is for a loved one who must fight.
This prayer is not for this one alone
But for all the military far from home.
I ask you to keep them safe and sound
On their way to where they’re bound.
We love those that are asked to fight
So keep them safe for us tonight
