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 and reluctantly accepted
the thoughts of eternal lonelinesss.
Should I fail I have seen the face of terror.
Felt the stinging cold of fear and
enjoyed the sweet tast of moments love.
I have cried pain and hoped... but most of all,
I have lived times others would say were best forgotten.
At least someday I willbe able to say that I was proud of what I was... a Soldier

The solider should be proud,
for he did what others feared
and that takes a lot of courage.
