Soldier
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 that gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal lonliness...should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror;, felt the stinging cold of fear; enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's 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.
George L. Skypeck
You are the ones that make the way for the rest, the ones that go where others fear to go, and do what others fear to do.
You are the brave, the true, the honorable ones of America's hope.
You are not forgotten, but always in our hearts, and minds.
You are the hope of those that you are sent to save, and the light, of their future.
Hurry home, safe and sound.
